Meet Sammy, he's your best friend, he'll always be there for you, and he's very, very, very hungry.

Plot 
A teenager suffering from anxiety uses a "One Wish Willow" to bring her "best friend", an emotional support dog named Sammy, back home. Unfortunately, Sammy comes back as a rabid animal hungry for blood and human flesh. Sending him on a horrifying downward spiral as he goes on a murderous rampage throughout the neighborhood. 

Plot Notes
The film follows Rose, a teenager who uses a wheelchair. Rose is lonely and has very few, if any, friends at school. Mainly because Rose is insecure about being in a wheelchair and how other people might see her as a liability or inconvenience because of it. Leaving her to be shy and closed off around other kids her age. Rose's only true friend is Sammy, an emotional support dog assigned to her and her mother by their therapist. Sammy frequently hangs out in Rose's bedroom, helps her with physical therapy, watches horror movies, plays games with her, and even acts as emotional support for her mom, Audrey, who is trying to cope with the death of her mom, Nora.

During one of Rose and Audrey's weekly therapy sessions, Sammy goes missing after running away from home during a thunderstorm. Rose and Audrey tried contacting the authorities and putting up missing posters around town, but nothing worked. A few months later, Rose is tearing some missing posters of Sammy down after school when she stumbles upon a small novelty shop. Within the shop, Rose finds the One-Wish Willow and buys one with her allowance.

Wanting to feel some hope of seeing Sammy again, Rose decides to use the one-wish willow to wish that her "Best Friend," Sammy, will come home and become her best friend forever. Once Rose gets home, Sammy appears in Rose's bedroom, dirty and wet but unharmed. Over time, however, Rose and Audrey both seem to notice strange behavior from Sammy. He's always hungry, can't fully digest his food without getting sick, and is more aggressive than before.

Sammy eventually snaps and runs out of the house, going on a violent and terrifying rampage throughout the town to satisfy his never-ending, uncontrollable cravings for blood and human flesh. As Sammy consumes more human gore, we see disturbing mutations slowly occurring, such as his paws turning into hands and feet, his eyes morphing into human eyes, and his dog teeth falling out as human teeth come through his gums.

It's revealed that Sammy's uncontrollable bloodthirst has been slowly mutating him into a human who can speak and act like a real human. All because, in her wish, Rose wished for Sammy to become her "Best Friend forever". Near the end of the film, we see Sammy as a disturbing, uncanny, tall, human-like figure with many dog features on its human body, inspired by the offspring from Alien: Romulus. Roses' wish for Sammy to be her friend forever, not just an emotional support pet, led to Sammy developing an insatiable hunger for human gore, which caused his disturbing mutations and would eventually turn him into a full-blown human rather than an emotional support pet for Rose and Audrey.

Rose is forced to try to help Sammy and find a way to reverse her wish and cure Sammy. Rose gets another One-Wish Willow from the same novelty shop in Obsession where Bear got his (the one she went to earlier in the film), and her mom wishes that Sammy would go back to normal. However, it doesn't break in half. It's revealed that Audrey's mom, Nora, wished for her daughter, Audrey, never to use the One-Wish Willow due to losing her husband to one of its wishes, which is what led her to suicide because of her inner guilt and remorse over the death of her husband.

With no more options, Rose and Audrey mercy kill Sammy to end his suffering and put the madness to an end in a sad, depressing, and heartbreaking scene. 

The film ends around a month later. Rose is still in physical therapy, but now has more confidence to hang out with some fellow kids at lunch after finding her inner strength, overcoming insecurities, and following through on everything she and her mom went through. Rose also wears a locket containing a photo of her, Audrey, and Sammy, reminding her of the people who helped her find her inner strength. The film ends with Audrey taking the remaining pieces of the one-wish willow from the house and burning them to a crisp in the backyard.

The events of Obsession are referenced on a news radio station as Rose and Audrey drive. It references Nikki Freeman being accused of Second Degree Murder of three people (Sarah, Ian, and Bear) and is currently awaiting trial in the Central California Women's Facility. 

The movie briefly explains that the One Wish Willows' wood came from the mythological tree known as the Kalpavriksha. A tree that's said to have emerged from the ocean and can grant wishes to those who pray to it.
