Kim Kopf, Richard Riehle, Quinton Aaron
Overview
Olivia West has always been committed to the welfare of her fragile patients who are institutionalized in her hospital. But when she loses subsidies and government support, she finds herself ceding control to a pharmaceutical company with a nefarious agenda. What happens within the walls of West Women's Behavioral Center is scarier than the horrific hallucinations in the minds of its unhinged patients.
