6 December 2023
When clay beresford needs heart surgery, his mother wants him to use another doctor, who she feels is more experienced. And on top of that, his own mother refuses to acknowledge clay's girlfriend samantha. Rough day all around. So clay and sam get married right away. When the surgeons are working, clay can hear the entire conversation in the room. But he is paralyzed from the anesthesia, and can't do anything to let them know. A patient's nightmare... being awake during a surgery! And not being able to do anything about it. It's described in wikipedia, so it must be a real (scary) thing. It turns out there's a conspiracy to knock clay off for his money, and make it look like an accidental death. So who exactly is in on it?? And what can he do to stop it? It's pretty good. Full of medical safety violations, incorrect terms and procedures, but if you put that aside, it does have pretty good suspense. With a whole lot of backstory given out.. right at the end. Shouldn't we have gotten a lot of that info earlier? Written and directed by joby harold. This appears to be the one and only project he has directed to date.
