Plot

A young couple, Brooke (Sarah Butler) and Lance (Steven Good), are injured in a car accident. At the hospital, Brooke is awakened by a nurse named Barb (Traci Lords) who informs her that Lance has been seriously injured and is in surgery. Not being able to remember everything that happened, Brooke eventually tells them that she remembers a man crossing the road in front of them just before they hit him, which is strange since Brooke and Lance are the only people who were transported to the hospital. With Lance's upcoming release, it's important that Brooke finds a competent nurse who can look after him while she works. Lance is left to be cared for by an attractive nurse Chloe (Lindsay Hartley). However, his health begins to decline after he is administered several doses of Oxycontin, leading Brooke to wonder if his nurse is harming him. Her suspicions are confirmed when a phone call from a stranger brings Chloe's troubled past to light. Soon, they discover that one of the hospital nurses is out to exact revenge.[2][3]

Casting

Lindsay Hartley was cast without auditioning for the part. "I did not audition for this one. My agent called me over a weekend, and said they made an offer for me to play this part in this movie. They wanted me to read the script in like two hours and get back to them since they started shooting on Tuesday. So, I really quickly read the script and thought it was fantastic, and I loved it. It kind of reminded me of Theresa from Passions having a bad day!"[4]

Critical reception

Inquisitr compared the film to another Lifetime television film Widow on the Hill (2005), which was said to be based on a true story of Donna Somerville, a nurse who was accused of killing her patient, and eventual husband.[2]
