In 1999, urban spelunker Brittany Loughry has a paranormal encounter in the Weston Hospital. The event begins to unspool a thread of mysteries affecting the past, present, and future of the shuttered mental facility. Unknowingly braiding Brittany's story are Henrietta Tidewater, a Black patient with a newborn falsely committed to the asylum in 1905; and Eugene Spangold, a ne'er-do-well farmer who self-commits in 1935 with delusions of orders from the U.S. President. In the years beyond, Neil Hutchence, an adrift divorcee, tries to piece together their stories as the distinction between what is real and what is an illusion erodes his sanity.
