‘Obsession’ follows Bear Bailey (Michael Johnston), a shy music store employee who struggles to express his feelings for his co-worker Nikki (Inde Navarrette).
His life takes a turn when he discovers a mysterious toy called the One Wish Willow at a crystal shop and wishes for Nikki to love him more than anything in the world, ignoring the cashier’s warning about its consequences.
While his wish initially appears to come true, Nikki’s affection soon turns obsessive and violent.
As their relationship spirals into a nightmare, Bear must find a way to undo his wish before it is too late.
