A darkly comedic animated action-horror romp where a hospital becomes a nightmarish trap, balancing genuine threat with absurdist humor and kinetic chase sequences.

After a car accident, Ben wakes up in hospital. Not knowing where he is or what is going on, he starts exploring the corridors...only to find that the staff don't have his health in mind! The hapless patient must pull himself together and do everything he can to escape. It's an action/horror/comedy — ending with the wheelchair chase from hell!
