Something is still breathing in the empty rooms of St. Mercy Regional.
In 1994, Nurse Evelyn Shaw watched doctors force a patient past the edge of death and back again. He opened his eyes while flatlined, spoke about a corridor that shouldn’t exist, and then vanished. The monitors in every empty room switched on at once. The project was buried. The ward was sealed.
Thirty years later, the hospital is scheduled for demolition. Grant Mercer is hired to oversee a final overnight documentation team: two contractors, an IT specialist, and a former nurse who already knows the building better than she should. They expect empty corridors and outdated paperwork.
The hospital has other plans.
Doors lock behind them. Voices call their names from rooms that were empty moments before. Heart monitors light up with their real-time pulses and ask questions only they should know the answers to. The deeper they go, the clearer it becomes that the experiments never stopped. They only moved further underground, waiting for the right blood to walk back through the doors.
