After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) is transferred to a rural hospital for a fresh start. Dr. Harrison (seasoned stage and screen actor Michael Potts) notices that James is struggling and has difficulty building relationships with his patients. He suggests that he take a course that focuses on bedside manners and fostering deeper relationships with patients. The demons of James’ past catch up with him as he deals with the case of a young asthma patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER, RARELY, SOMETIMES, ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to fade as his disturbing nightmares, fear-driven 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 assembles a strong ensemble of experienced character actors in this humanistic and unconventional genre revision.
