All insane asylums have been shut down for over 15 years now, except one. Briarcliff Manor is an asylum that only the government knows about, and they plan to keep it that way. 20 year old, Kit Walker, has been admitted to Briarcliff for manslaughter which he's positive he didn't commit. He plans to escape and expose Briarcliff to the public, but not without help from a fellow patient.
