After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Heyman (Namir Smallwood) transfers to a rural hospital for a fresh start. Noticing that James is struggling and struggling to communicate with patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and screen actor Michael Potts) suggests he take a class focused on bedside manners and fostering deeper relationships with patients. The demons of James’ past begin to catch up with him when he is overwhelmed by the case of a young asthmatic patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER SOMETIMES, ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to slip as his disturbing nightmares, anxious speculations, and physical trauma collide with the harsh realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson assembles a strong ensemble of veteran actors in this humanistic and unconventional genre thriller in his follow-up to SAINT FRANCES and prequel to GHOSTLIGHT.
