The movie tells the story of two inmates in a mental institution who form an intense bond over their shared experiences and feelings of alienation from society. The film begins with a young woman named Mia (Emmy Rossum) arriving at the mental institution after being convicted of a crime she claims she did not commit. Mia is immediately thrust into a strange and unfamiliar world, where she is surrounded by patients who are struggling with their own demons and mental health issues.

Despite the chaos and confusion around her, Mia quickly strikes up a friendship with a fellow patient, Jack (Shawn Morse). Jack is a gruff, no-nonsense type of person who has spent years in the institution, but he immediately senses a kindred spirit in Mia. The two begin to bond over their shared experiences and feelings of being misunderstood by the outside world.

As Mia and Jack spend more time together, they begin to uncover hidden truths about the institution and the staff who run it. They discover that some of the patients are being mistreated and neglected, and they vow to do whatever it takes to bring the truth to light.

However, their efforts to expose the injustices around them only serve to make their own situation more precarious. The staff at the institution become increasingly hostile and confrontational towards Mia and Jack, and they must navigate a dangerous and unpredictable world in order to survive.
