Synopsis:

A tree is uprooted in the backyard of little Glen's (a young, chubby Stephen Dorff, in his second movie ever!) house. His friend Terry and him poke around inside the hole that is left, and find some geodes they plan to sell. During which, they crack open a gateway to hell!

When Glen and Al's dog dies mysteriously one night, Al's love interest Eric DRIVES AROUND WITH THE DOG IN HIS CAR until he decides to drop it off in the hole in the backyard. Whoops! Turns out that's what the demons needed, was a sacrifice!

Soon, little imps start popping out of the very feminine hole in the ground, and attacking the team of kids. What they need, apparently, is two human sacrifices so they can stay on earth and rule forever.

Will Dorff and company be able stop the menacing, two-inch tall horde of toy demons in time for a sequel? With an arsenal of Barbies and toy rockets, how the hell could they lose?
