Plot

A girl named Lily is given her very own life-sized “Really You” doll which is named Lilly D. because she is good at manipulating her dad. Lilly remains a spoiled brat, bragging about Lilly D., even going as far as to ripping the leg off a friend’s doll after the friend informs Lilly that “Lilly D. hates Lilly.” Soon after, strange events begin to occur which Lilly’s mother accuses Lilly of doing; despite how Lilly maintains she is innocent, and that Lilly D. is alive. Soon, Lilly’s mother starts to care more about Lilly D. then Lilly; giving the doll breakfast and letting it sleep in her bed; the final straw being when Lilly’s mother is convinced Lilly painted Bad Girl on her bedroom room wall, even though Lilly is once again denying her guilt; and Lilly’s brother, Brandon tells his friend, Josh that Lilly D. is alive, or isn’t.

Lilly’s brother, Brandon, suspects the doll is trying to get rid of Lilly since her mother seems to love the doll more than she loves Lilly as he records what she does in the middle of the night. It shows that she is alive, but she takes the memory card out of his camera and his mother takes it away from him, after she realizes she was probably spying on her and Brandon takes her apart and finds words on the back of her head saying, “Destroy this Doll.”

Brandon and Josh try to solve the mystery of Lilly’s new doll once and for all and discover that the doll is alive after going to the “Really You” building and the doll maker says that they built the building over her house and works in a basement and says all of the dolls have souls and are pleased to be of who they are. But Lilly D. was different mainly she had a bad soul. Because of this, she wanted to be real, and not a doll. She became a bad girl as the maker tried to destroy her but the people didn’t believe her. Lilly becomes sick and pale, which the doctor says is merely a virus. The doll does the unthinkable. Her mother says that she wished Lilly D. was her daughter and Lilly begins a horrifying transformation, and she soon becomes a doll, and it turns out she and Lilly D. have switched places. Lilly D. (now Lilly)’s behavior is making Brandon suspicious.

The next day, Brandon notices that the discarded doll thrown in the trash has Lilly’s birthmark on the back of her neck. Lilly is restored to her normal self because of her mother’s love for her, while Lilly D. is transformed back into a doll. She is lying in the middle of the street, and is about to get up, but before she can, Lilly D. is hit by a garbage truck. The doll is seen on the side of a street by two girls. The doll grabs one of the girls, causing them to run away in horror.
