More and more patients are acting strangely at The Ashcroft Hospital and none of the doctors know why. What's happening to the infirmed and feeble-minded men and women who wander its halls? They are changing, seemingly possessed... Only Alicia knows the truth-these patients are possessed, their bodies now vessels for spirits brought over from the other side-but no one will believe her. Not Dr. Templeton. Not even close confidant Dr. Reginald Waters. What Alicia fears the most, what no one is willing to admit, is that the number of possessed patients is only growing... until it's too late.
