Billy discovers he's a toxic boyfriend once his BabyDoll begins to mirror his behaviour.
Unable to accept his ex Jess's departure, Billy finds a website that allows him to design a sexbot in her image. BabyDolls is a dark comedy short that looks at fragile masculinity masked within alpha male bravado, paced to an original score and told through spoken word.
