Step into the bewildering and darkly hilarious world of Toy City, a dystopian metropolis formerly known as Toy Town, where childhood innocence has been brutally murdered. Our tale begins with Jack, a naive newcomer, seeking his fortune, only to stumble into a realm where beloved nursery rhyme characters are being systematically slaughtered by a ruthless serial killer. The bumbling Toy City police are clueless, leaving the investigation in the paws of Eddie Bear. A battered teddy bear suffering from an identity crisis, Eddie is the unlikely sidekick to the missing Private Eye Bill Winkie. When Jack and Eddie team up, they plunge headfirst into a twisted, hardboiled noir adventure. Expect a rollercoaster ride through gratuitous sex and violence, heavy drinking, bad behavior, car chases, and a generous dose of toy fetishism and all-round grossness, as this unlikely duo navigates the surreal underbelly of Toy City to unmask a killer before everyone turns into hollow chocolate bunnies.
