After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Heyman (Namir Smallwood) moves to a rural hospital to start over. Observing that James is having trouble connecting with his patients, Dr. Harrison (Michael Potts, veteran stage and film actor) suggests he take classes that focus on sleep and fostering deeper relationships with his patients. The demons of James’ past begin to catch up with him when he takes on a new asthma patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER SOMETIMES MEASURE ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to fray as his disturbing nightmares, fear-driven speculations, and physical injuries collide with the brutal realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson assembles a strong ensemble cast of veteran actors in this humanistic and unconventional take on the genre for his follow-up to SAINT FRANCES – and a predecessor to GHOOSTLIGHT.
