After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) is transferred to a rural hospital to start over. Dr. Harrison (Michael Potts), a veteran stage and film actor, notices that James is struggling and has trouble connecting with his patients. He suggests that he take a course that focuses on bedside manners and developing deeper relationships with patients. Demons from James’ past catch up with him as he deals with the case of a young asthmatic patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER, SOMETIMES, ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to fray as his disturbing nightmares, fear-fueled speculations, and physical injuries collide with the harsh realities of the medical world. In his sequel to SAINT FRANCES – and predecessor to GHOSTLIGHT – director Alex Thompson brings together a strong ensemble of seasoned character actors in this humanistic and unconventional genre revision.
