After a traumatic incident, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) moves to a rural hospital to start over. Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and film actor Michael Potts) suggests he take a course focused on good manners and a deeper connection with his patients. The demons of James’ past begin to catch up with him when he is consumed by the case of a young asthmatic patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER SOMETIMES ALWAYS) who is experiencing mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to slip as his disturbing nightmares, anxious speculations and physical injuries collide with the harsh realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson assembles a strong cast of veteran character actors in this follow-up to SAINT FRANCES and a precursor to GHOSTLIGHT in this unconventional, humanistic vision of the genre.
