The film opens with a flashback depicting a young boy attempting to escape from Cunningham Hall Mental Facility before getting hit by a car and presumed dead. In the present day, psychiatric intern Clark Stevens (Joshua Leonard) come to Cunningham Hall to train before he can graduate to medical school. Inside, he meets some of the patients and is welcomed by Nurse Betty, who gives him keys to and a walkie-talkie before taking him to the director of the facility, Dr. Albert Franks (Lance Henriksen). On the way, however, they are interrupted by a patient named Carl, who claims that he "shouldn't be here," and patients aren't allowed to go home when they're mentally stable. Betty shrugs the accusations off and pushes Carl away.
