Following four puppeteers as they compete for a spot on the children’s television show Sunflower Hour, a documentary team gains insight into the lives of: David, a puppet master with an inferiority complex and bullying older brothers; Leslie, a closeted gay man desperately trying to win the affections of his evangelical father; Satan’s Spawn, a raging goth teen with a chip on her shoulder; and Shamus, a faux Irishman who treats his leprechaun puppet like a real person and has done so ever since his father left when he was a child. Coupled with the fact that the show’s producers are former executives from the adult entertainment industry, the film crew quickly discovers that no one involved should be anywhere near children in the first place.
