Synopsis

Struggling with unemployment and lack of purpose in life, thirty-something RYAN impulsively buys a lucky Japanese ‘Daruma’ doll and takes it home to his girlfriend LOUISE, hoping his fortunes might change. Reluctant to entertain his wishful thinking, Louise persuades Ryan to throw his new friend 'Mr Lucky' away. But somehow Mr Lucky reappears and tension in the house grows as circumstances for Ryan go from bad to worse…
As Ryan begins to talk with Mr Lucky, take it to bed and even bring it along to a job interview, Louise grows concerned that something is very wrong. But the more she tries to separate him and Mr Lucky, the more horror is unleashed into their home.
Will Louise find a way to bring Ryan back from insanity or is it only a matter of time before the BLACK DARUMA gets its terrifying way with her too?
