Praga, settembre 1986. Il brillante chirurgo Joseph Novak torna nella sua città natale dopo aver partecipato a un congresso internazionale di medicina a New York. Con sé porta un prezioso regalo per sua figlia: una casa di bambole acquistata all'asta presso Sotheby's, fondata a Londra nel 1744. Questo pezzo unico risale agli inizi del XIX secolo.
Anyta aveva appena compiuto tredici anni, e per lei fu il regalo più bello che potesse ricevere.
Quando la vide per la prima volta, i suoi occhi si illuminarono di gioia. Ma col passare delle settimane, qualcosa cominciò a cambiare. Quella che inizialmente era una semplice casa di bambole iniziò a esercitare sulla ragazza una strana attrazione. Sentiva il bisogno di controllarla continuamente, come se la casa potesse cambiare da un momento all'altro.
Ogni volta che entrava nella stanza, avvertiva una lieve tensione, un brivido sottile senza un motivo apparente. A volte le sembrava che gli inquilini della casa non fossero più esattamente dove li aveva lasciati. All'inizio pensò che fosse solo la sua immaginazione, ma col passare del tempo la sensazione divenne sempre più forte. Le notti di Anyta, che prima erano tranquille e serene, iniziarono a essere disturbate da strani sogni, in cui si vedeva intrappolata all'interno del giocattolo, dove le stanze si allungavano in corridoi infiniti e bui, e le bambole, che una volta erano state sue compagne di gioco, si manifestavano in figure inquietanti dagli occhi fissi e vuoti.
Ogni notte, gli incubi si fecero sempre più vividi e reali.
Una sera, incapace di resistere oltre, decide di esplorare la casa di bambole. Quella fu l'ultima notte in cui la governante vide la ragazza.
Il mattino seguente, Anyta era scomparsa senza lasciare traccia.
New York, dicembre 2024.
La giovane sensitiva Axa Hart riceve un'email da uno sconosciuto, contenente un invito e poche righe: " La prego di partecipare alla mostra del giocattolo, che si terrà a Praga il 21 Dicembre. Il male è riemerso dal passato". Firmato W.
Mancano tre giorni all'evento e Axa, dopo aver riflettuto, decide di accettare l'invito.
La sensitiva ancora non sa che quel viaggio le cambierà la vita per sempre.
