When Richard suggests a game of "Nicky Nicky Nine Doors," Emery can't come up with a good excuse not to play.

Emery's neighbour, Richard, is the kind of kid who gets under your skin. Using chocolate bars as "stunt poo," the boys start playing the classic prank of the burning bag on the doorstep, but this game has a modern twist. They record their neighbours' reactions. The naked guy and the man in the apron are highly entertaining, but Emery starts to get cold feet when another neighbour is reduced to tears. Emery wants out, but he's not sure how to stop the game without losing face. Soon the game gets serious, and Emery has a lot more to worry about than his reputation.
