Asylum(s)

Life as a guard within an asylum for the criminally insane is hard enough. But for James McCartney, it's hell. Whilst coming to terms with the recent murder of his wife, James is left to raise his young daughter alone. Struggling to survive, he begins to feel increasingly trapped within the secluded town of Loveridge Falls.Hundreds of miles away from the nearest city and surrounded by nothing but trees, precious few are willing to make the journey. Only the offer of exclusive access to the asylum is enough to entice journalist Quinn Parker, following word of the unusual treatments offered to the facility's residents. As she discovers the gruesome stories that led to their incarceration, impossible connections force her to question just how genuine her reality is.With the imminent arrival of a new inmate threatening to overthrow the asylum's status quo, James and Quinn must determine how far his influence spreads and find the truth hidden in the fiction of those declared clinically insane.
