After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) is transferred to a rural hospital for a fresh start. Noticing that James is having difficulty communicating with his patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and screen actor Michael Potts) suggests that he take a course focused on bedside manner and facilitating deeper relationships with patients. The demons of James’ past begin to catch up with him when he becomes consumed by the case of a young asthmatic patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER RARELY SOMEME ALWAYS) presenting with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to falter as his disturbing nightmares, anxiety-fueled speculations and physical injuries collide with the harsh realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson assembles a strong ensemble of veteran actors from his SAINT FRANCES sequel—and GHOSTLIGHT precursor—in this unconventional, humanistic take on the genre.
