A chilling tale that begins at the Simion Research Hospital where Dr. [Florence Weaver] meticulously records footage concerning a patient named Gabriel, who is growing increasingly unstable. The situation escalates when Gabriel escapes captivity, unleashing a brutal rampage that results in the killing of multiple staff members. As Weaver and her team confront the creature, they discover a disturbing detail: behind Gabriel’s monstrous exterior lies a connection to a young girl, revealed only through haunting visuals of the hospital and her own traumatic past.
