HOPE VALLEY PSYCHIATRIC HOSPITAL was home to some of the most unstable teens and young adults in the whole country but despite it's name, once you were placed there: well there was no hope for you.
WHAT MOST PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW was the amount of suffering and torture that the patients had to go through everyday, this place has been running for at least 200 years and almost every patient has died.
LUCKILY IN THE SUMMER of 1985 the hospital was taken under new leadership and a new group of patients were admitted into the hospital, under new management, they weren't tortured but weirder things were happening.
THERE WERE STRANGE VOICES and footsteps in the middle of the night, the sound of what could only be explained as something supernatural, but that couldn't be true.
ONE NIGHT THE SOUND OF SCREAMS could be heard and it caused all of the patients to wake up, they got out of their rooms and that's when they saw something terrible... all of the doctors and nurses bodies were spread on the floor and covered in blood. Arms were missing and jaws were detached... no human could've done this.
BUT THERE WAS STILL ONE MYSTERY LEFT was this real or were the patients just making this all up in their insane and crazy little minds?
Gwen, desperate to feel something, kills someone. But she quickly learns that one kill is never enough. Can Gwen stop before she turns on her own family?

*****
It was just an experiment. Simply kill one person to see what it felt like. See beauty in the moment of death. See if it filled the void within her. It didn't. Nor did it the next time. Or the next. Gwen is an ordinary person. Wife to Amanda. Mother to Grace and Alexandra. Suddenly, she is no longer ordinary as she finds herself battling her urges and demons before she hurts those closest to her. But is it already too late?
