Written by Adam Gierasch and Jace Anderson (Mother of Tears, Toolbox Murders) and E. L. Katz,, the former makes his directorial debut with homage to such gore slashers as Doctor Butcher MD. It's Mardi Gras and Emily Hosfeld, boyfriend Bobby and friends Clare, Dmitri and Jude have had the time of their lives.  On their way out of New Orleans, a car accident leaves them injured and stranded on a lonely Louisiana highway.  When the ambulance arrives, it whisks them to Mercy Hospital.  With a minimal staff and many empty wings, the hospital is an eerie place…but that's only the beginning. Dr. David Benway and his sinister staff are using patients in gruesome experiments. It's up to Emily to rescue her friends and escape the surgical terrors and medical menace.  A new talent on the American independent horror scene, Gierasch is currently prepping his splatter remake of Night of the Demons.
