Director: Parker Finn Writer: Parker Finn Cast: Sosie Bacon, Jessie T. Usher, Kyle Gallner, Robin Weigert, Caitlin Stasey with Kal Penn, and Rob Morgan

Rated R for strong violent content and grisly images, and language.

Dr. Rose Cotter is a workaholic devoted to her profession as a psychiatrist. Opting to work in a county clinic instead of with wealthy clientele, she’d become accustomed to a fast-paced environment where anything can happen. She thought she was prepared for anything, but nothing could prepare her for witnessing the suicide of a patient. After witnessing the horrific death of a young patient she was unable to help, the good Dr. comes face to face with the same affliction. In a race against time, Dr. Cotter must find a cure or meet certain death, with a smile.
