Obsession

Bear (Michael Johnston) is an ordinary young man whose love for his coworker Nikki (Inde Navarrette) is as intense as his shyness - and his inability to ask her out. Desperate people do desperate things, so Bear buys a dubious toy from a seedy pawn shop, one that can supposedly grant him a single wish. Any wish at all. He doesn't hesitate long: he wants Nikki to love him.

The result comes almost immediately. Nikki is madly in love with Bear - passionately and intensely. So intensely that it becomes dangerous, and Bear starts to mind. First a little, then a lot. The colder his feelings grow, the more obsessed Nikki becomes - and she begins to act out her romantic desperation in increasingly disturbing ways.

A frightened Bear wants to return his wish. But the shop owner offers little help - or rather, gives him advice he didn't want to hear: the wish's magic can only end with death, preferably his own.
