Sadie, an up and coming young journalist for the Morning Gazette, is looking for the scoop that will cement her career and, tonight, she may just well get it. Inside the nearest maximum security hospital is held an unnamed patient, who has been found innocent for reasons of insanity for the brutal mass murder of her parents and younger sister. The details of her crime are chilling: her parents savagely butchered with a meat cleaver and her younger sister viciously stabbed through the temple with a drill.
All would appear to be cut-and-dry, except for one detail, the one aspect of the story that brings Sadie to arrange a highly illegal meeting with the alleged killer; the convicted woman believes that a doppelgänger, and not her, is the one responsible for the slayings. The police reports even mention that she was found hidden behind a chest of drawers, terrified and confused.
Of course, meeting such a dangerous individual would not be possible without inside help. Enter Dr. Keller, the head psychiatrist in charge of the case. With his palms greased with a wad of cash, the stern doctor allows Sadie a maximum of ten minutes to conduct her interview (under close supervision) as long as she obeys his every instruction. Should she deviate or ignore his orders, he will leave her to the mercy of the guards on duty.
Once she is clear about the rules, they enter the silent hospital and so begins Sadie's journey into a private, dark world of hidden motives and psychological madness, one where the destination will turn out to be more nightmarish and devastating than anyone could have possibly imagined.
