43/24
After a traumatic incident during his residency, young medical student James Heyman (Namir Smallwood) transfers to a rural hospital for a fresh start. Noticing that James is struggling to connect with his patients, Dr. Harrison (veteran stage and screen actor Michael Potts) suggests he take a class on bedside exercises and facilitating closer relationships with his patients. The demons of James’ past begin to catch up with him when he is confronted by a young asthmatic patient (Sidney Flanigan, NEVER SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES ALWAYS) with mysterious symptoms. His grip on reality begins to slip as his disturbing nightmares, anxious speculations, and physical injuries collide with the harsh realities of the medical world. Director Alex Thompson assembles a strong ensemble of veteran actors in his sequel to SAINT FRANCES and predecessor to GHOSTLIGHT, guided by this humanistic and unconventional take on the genre.
