As the night progresses, Amy encounters unsettling patients, strange occurrences, and increasingly eerie malfunctions in the ward’s systems. Her ex-boyfriend Cameron is also present, adding tension to the night. Amy’s growing suspicion culminates when she learns that the man posing as the ward’s on-call doctor, Dr. Richard Beck, is actually a dangerous patient named Damon Sawyer who has been impersonating hospital staff along with Jade.

The ward descends into chaos as Amy races to survive while unraveling the truth behind the deceptive patients and their deadly plan to burn down the facility and escape.

Ultimately, Amy survives the harrowing night but is left profoundly changed by the experience, gaining deeper insight into mental health and resilience.

The novel combines suspense, psychological tension, and alternating timelines to keep readers guessing until the dramatic conclusion.
