A claustrophobic hospital horror that uses medical error and contagion as both literal threat and metaphor for moral corruption and collective breakdown.

Infection takes place in a dark, isolated hospital, where one doctors mistake has led to dire consequences for a patient. In a hospital death is just a breath away.
