The cast of puppets includes Tunneler, who drills holes into his opponent's head, Leech Woman who can spit up leeches that suck your blood, and Jester, who seems to be the leader's right hand in making sarcastic comments while terrorizing humans.

The psychics soon find themselves at the mercy of the puppets, who are determined to protect Andre Toulon's legacy. The group must fight to survive as the puppets attack them with varying methods of violence. They must also unravel the mystery of why the puppets have come back to life and what they are after.
