After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) is transferred to a rural hospital to start over. When he notices that James is struggling and has trouble connecting with patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and film actor Michael Potts) suggests he take a class focused on bedside manners and facilitating deeper relationships with patients. 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 Ever Ever) 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 has assembled a strong ensemble of experienced actors in his sequel to SAINT FRANCES – and predecessor to GHOSTLIGHT – in this humanistic and unconventional vision of the genre.
