STITCHES
Connor, a half human half puppet hybrid returns to the set of the popular children’s show, “The Marionettes”. During his unforeseen return he encounters his family and former co-stars while also revisiting memories of his childhood as the show’s former star and the conflict that distanced him from his family in the first place.
