When Jess is admitted to hospital with severe back pain, she is immediately given a private room in which to relax while she awaits an x-ray. Due to some complications, she is forced to stay over night, and wakes in the dead of night with chronic pain.

However, she quickly realises the nurse's methods are somewhat unorthodox.
