After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Heyman (Namir Smallwood) moves to a rural hospital to start over. Noticing that James is having difficulty connecting with patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and screen actor Michael Potts) suggests he take a class focused on patient relations and facilitating deeper patient relationships. 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 RARELY, SOMETIMES ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. Her grip on reality begins to slip as her disturbing nightmares, anxiety-fueled speculations, and physical injuries collide with the harsh realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson reunites a strong cast of veteran actors in his sequel to SAINT FRANCES and prequel to GHOSTLIGHT, in this humanistic and unconventional take on the genre.
