[edit] Plot
Dr. Linden (Terry O'Quinn) has a life-size dummy in his office which he calls "Pin". Via ventriloquism, Pin explains to Dr. Linden's children bodily functions and how the body works in a way children can relate to, without it being awkward. But, when Mr. and Mrs. Linden get killed in a car crash,caused by the dummy, his son, Leon (David Hewlett) begins using ventriloquism himself, so Pin once again has a voice. Leon, an undiagnosed schizophrenic, starts to once again believe that Pin is alive, although Leon is now eighteen. Soon, Leon starts to slowly follow Pin's commands to over-protect his sister, Ursula (Cynthia Preston), even to the ultimate extent of violence, and the plotting of murders.
