After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Heyman (Namir Smallwood) is transferred to a rural hospital for a fresh start. Observing that James is struggling and having difficulty connecting with patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and screen actor Michael Potts) suggests he take a course focused on bedside manners and facilitating deeper patient relationships. Demons from James‘ past begin to catch up with him when he is consumed by the case of a young asthmatic patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER RARELY, SOMETIMES ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to slip 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 in his sequel to SAINT FRANCES — and predecessor to GHOSTLIGHT — in this humanistic and unconventional take on the genre.
