A medical student, Amy Brenner,  is dreading her mandatory overnight shift on the hospital's locked psychiatric ward, especially as she has a dark secret connected to the ward. As the night progresses, her paranoia escalates as things in the ward are either very strange or she is going totally crazy.  A fast-paced psychological thriller.  Unfortunately, there are only a very limited number of potential reveals the setting of a locked psychiatric ward can lead to.  This despite McFadden kept us pivoting between the two possibilities almost up to the very end.  Very decent!
