After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) moves to a rural hospital to start over. Observing that James is having trouble connecting with his patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and screen actor Michael Potts) suggests that he take a class focused on bedside manner and facilitating deeper relationships with patients. The demons of James’ past begin to catch up with him when he becomes engulfed by the case of a young asthma patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to waver as his disturbing nightmares, fear-fueled speculations, and physical injuries collide with the brutal realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson assembles a strong ensemble of seasoned character actors in his sequel to SAINT FRANCES—and precursor to GHOSTLIGHT—in this humanistic and unconventional take on the genre.
