Jamie Godard is a naive, emotionally-stunted young woman who was raised by her single mother after her philandering father abandoned the family. Though absent, the father frequently sent Jamie toys, which she fixated on, developing a father complex as a result. Now, as an adult, Jamie works in a toy store in upstate New York. She married her co-worker, Charlie, but finds herself unable to consummate their marriage. Charlie is disturbed by Jamie's obsession with the toys she has accumulated over the years from her dad.
