Amy suffers from cardiomyopathy and must wait a few months to be able to operate, because she still does not have medical insurance from the hospital. Those months, full of uncertainty since she could suffer a heart attack or stroke, will be more bearable with the arrival of a partner who will help her on the journey, Charles Cullen (Eddie Redmayne).

But, little by little, strange things begin to happen in health center. Without explaining reasons, patients who, initially, were well and in the process of recovery begin to die. Amy will begin to suspect Charles and she will discover that a monster hides behind the face of that kind man.
