When an altercation with the police leads to Pepper being mistakenly admitted to a mental institution in Queens, NYC, he doesnt expect to stay there long. It will be a matter of days, he believes, until the misunderstanding is ironed out and he is released.

But as those days stretch into weeks, blurring into a cycle of bad food, endless hallways, and an ever-increasing mixture of sedatives, Pepper realises that the system isnt just broken its forgotten him. He must fight through the chemical haze to hold on to his sanity, but he has worse problems. There are rumours that a devil stalks the wards after dark a monstrous figure with the body of an old man and the head of a bison.

As more patients begin vanishing, and the overworked staff cover up their disappearances, Pepper must unite the other inmates and kill the monster thats hunting them.
But what can destroy the devil?
