After surviving a life-or-death crisis, wealthy heir Ryan finally reunites with puppeteer Spencer, and the two rekindle their romance. But their happiness is soon disrupted when Ryan’s grandfather suddenly arrives in New York with the entire family. Convinced that the mysterious Spencer is a fraud, he pressures Ryan to break up with him and even brings in Tom, the “perfect fiancé,” to come between them. With no other choice, Ryan and Spencer continue their relationship in secret, hiding it from the family. As they spend more time together, Spencer gradually earns Ryan’s grandfather’s approval. But neither of them realizes that the real danger has already infiltrated their lives. A fallen puppeteer has set his sights on Ryan’s puppet heart, dragging Ryan’s family into a sinister web of manipulation and control. As the threat closes in, the woodification curse Spencer has long kept hidden begins to accelerate. And to make matters worse, Amber—his former nemesis and stepbrother—returns once again.
