Something really bad happened to James Jensen when he was a kid. While hosting the latest episode of his children’s series ‘Monkey’s Magic Merry Go Round,’ his repressed memories begin to emerge, threatening his sanity, and possibly his life. Will Monkey and the Playground Pals help James recover his lost memories, or have they been withholding something from him all along? Where is the Post Lady hiding? And who is The Freak?

Producers Jordan Yale Levine and Jordan Beckerman were quoted saying: "Michael [Gilio] did such an incredible job. So much of the film rests on his shoulders, as he’s essentially the only flesh-and-blood performer on screen. That said: the puppets in this film are outstanding as well. Both in their creation and in their performance, they feel instantly iconic."
One of the film's executive-producers was quoted saying: "I am blown away by what this team of accomplished. Leary and Thompson immediately announce themselves as bold new talents. It’s very rare to come across a debut feature that is so assured and precise in its execution. This film is a trip. I can’t wait to see this with an audience."
The feature film directorial debut of Aidan Leary.
This is said to be the first project on the Terror Town genre slate from producer Joe Swanberg and Yale Productions.
Described as "Late Night with the Devil meets Blue’s Clues."
