A lurid exploitation horror film centered on institutional abuse and sexual violence, driven by sensationalism and visceral dread rather than psychological depth.

A young woman feigns illness in order to infiltrate a mental hospital, where she investigates the disappearance of her sister, a former patient. Meanwhile, the hospital warden and her attendants abuse and torture their charges, forcing them to star in cheap skinflicks.
