Synopsis
Tyler is behind the 8-ball. His life is in turmoil and he doesn't know where to turn. While walking in the rain, he comes across a quaint toy store named “Tommy's Toys”. The eccentric elderly owner, Marv, gives Tyler something he hopes will change his fortune – a Magic 8-ball. Tyler takes the gift home and tosses it aside, thinking it's just a dumb toy.
But he finds out that the 8-ball, named Hugo, is truly magical. Using its die to communicate, Hugo takes Tyler on an adventure that leads to him getting a job at a prestigious investment firm. When Tyler takes advantage of Hugo and breaks the toy during a dispute, he is forced to stand on his own two feet or lose everything Hugo has helped him to achieve.
