A high-energy farce built on mistaken identity and chaos, where a con artist's deception spirals into absurdist comedy within a hospital during a hurricane.

Eddie is a con artist. When he's framed and comes before a judge, he hopes to get off the hook by claiming insanity—but instead ends up in a hospital for a mental assessment. That night, a storm causes a power failure and, in the ensuing chaos, Eddie is mistaken for a doctor and suddenly finds himself in charge of the hospital.
