A paranoia-soaked psychological thriller set in an asylum where the boundary between delusion and genuine threat collapses, leaving both character and viewer uncertain what is real.

Within the confines of an insane asylum languish many would-be seers and messiahs. Medical students meet them day in, day out. But when Eve meets Don Wake, she discovers he's not your run-of-the-mill paranoic. In fact, his visions of her life on the outside tread the line between fantasy and reality as a stalker becomes known to her. She could be in danger; it could all be in her head.
