After a traumatic incident during residency, young medical student James Hayman (Namir Smallwood) transfers to a rural hospital to start a new life. Noticing that James is having difficulty communicating with patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran theater and film actor Michael Potts) suggests he enroll in a course on bedside manner and building deeper relationships with patients. The demons of James' past begin to catch up with him when he becomes absorbed in the case of a young asthma patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER RARELY SOMETIMES ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His connection to reality begins to weaken as his disturbing nightmares, anxiety-fueled speculations, and physical trauma collide with the harsh reality of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson has assembled a strong cast of veteran actors for his follow-up to THE FRENCH SAINT—and its predecessor THE GHOST WORLD—in this humanistic and unconventional interpretation of the genre.
