Questa serie approfondisce la storia di un uomo artificiale con lame di forbice al posto delle mani, portato dall'isolamento in un mondo suburbano. I suoi talenti artistici unici e la sua natura gentile gli procurano inizialmente fama e accettazione. Tuttavia, il suo aspetto insolito e la paura dell'ignoto portano presto a incomprensioni e ostracismo, esplorando temi di pregiudizio e il desiderio di connessione.
In a castle just outside a sleepy suburban town, a brilliant inventor created Edward Scissorhands... but left him tragically unfinished. Two generations of exile have left Edward digging through abandoned experiments, but once he wakes up a creature left buried, he discovers he isn't the only one missing a vital piece.
After settling in with Megs and her family, Edward becomes curious about a television miracle doctor named April Wells, and enlists the help of friends and townspeople to send her a homemade audition tape. While Megs struggles with her uncertainty about the whole situation, Edward has a quiet hope that, maybe, she could help him.
