SYNOPSIS
A brilliant and respected criminal psychologist, Dr. Miranda Grey (Berry) is an expert at knowing what is rational. Under the direction of her husband (Dutton), Miranda treats dangerously disturbed patients at the Woodward Penitentiary for Women. But Miranda's life is thrust into terrifying jeopardy after a cryptic encounter with a mysterious young girl leads to a nightmare beyond her wildest imagination.
When Miranda awakens from the frightening incident, she is shocked to discover that her husband has been murdered – and the bloody evidence points directly at her. Miranda suddenly finds herself confined to Woodward alongside the highly unstable patients she used to treat. With no memory of the night in question except for fractured visions of the hauntingly enigmatic girl, her claims of innocence are seen as the beginnings of a deep descent into madness by her former colleagues like Dr. Pete Graham (Downey, Jr.). Forced to rely on her instincts rather than facts, Miranda must determine if she is being driven to madness…or closer to the truth.
