Maura Powell is running out of options. Suffering from a debilitating neurological illness has left her desperate for answers. When her friends uncover rumors of a long-abandoned hospital tied to miraculous recoveries, Maura agrees to one last gamble: breaking into Green Plain Regional to find proof that her condition can be cured. But beneath the decay lies something still active, still watching. It is a place where medicine operates without oversight, and isolation is treated as clarity. As Maura’s friends begin to vanish, she must confront how far she’s willing to go for relief, and whether some cures demand more than anyone should be asked to give.
