Pearl

Sisters Nikki and Wendy put their differences aside to resurrect Nikki's beloved dog, Pearl, from the dead. Their ill fated plan takes a turn when they're whisked away into an impossibly weird magical realm, populated by malevolent spirits who take the shape of puppets. Together the sisters must overcome their personal demons and work together to find Pearl and their way home.
