Rick Desmond isn't crazy. True he may have anger management issues, but he always figured that was something he could deal with. His parents have threatened to lock him up before, and they almost had gone through with it. Almost. Except this time, it was past an almost. The year is 1968, and the legacy of Brookline Asylum is only beginning. Warden Crawford and his onslaught of nurses speak of a Patient Zero, the very first test subject. But who is this mystery patient? And what are the Warden’s plans for them? As the shadows lurk closer, Ricky finds himself trapped in the very heart of a dark plot. A rattling heartbeat that shakes the walls. A scream pierces the night. Whispers emerge that the Warden’s treatments are not all that they may seem.What lies in Brookline is not for the faint of heart, and Ricky soon realizes that he must escape before the Asylum takes his life - and his sanity.
