Timothy and Alix, university professors, stumble onto a murder after purchasing a Vintage Barbie doll at a yard sale. Things go from bad to worse when the doll turns out to be one of dozens of copies growing in the victim's back yard, and mysterious creatures suddenly begin tearing up the university campus. With the help of Weisenheimer, Timothy's world-class artificial intelligence network, the two academics must stay ahead of an environmentally conscious mafia boss, who turns out to be the murder victim's brother-in-law, and a secret government organization, if they expect to uncover the truth.
