A group of hurting teddy bears and other toys come together and talk about their traumatic experiences. Everyone in the room has experienced one or more terrifying moments with a child, either thrown, dragged, ripped, burnt, cut, drawn on or just had a beating. Their biggest fear is children, they are the enemy. But the group’s core belief gets challenged by a new member, Stitch, who comes from a home with a strong presence of domestic violence and verbal abuse.
