When investigative journalist Miles Upshur breaks into the abandoned and notoriously corrupt Mount Massive Asylum, he expects to uncover a corporate cover-up. Instead, he discovers a nightmare. Inside, the patients have overrun the facility. A religious fanatic believes Miles is a chosen prophet. A sadistic surgeon wants him on the table. Something supernatural hunts through the halls. Security forces have been slaughtered. And deep beneath the asylum, a deadly experiment known as The Morphogenic Engine has unleashed a sentient nanite entity called The Walrider. As Miles fights to survive, he encounters another reporter — Blake Langermann, who snuck into the asylum searching for evidence against the Murkoff Corporation. When the two journalists cross paths in the chaos, they uncover the horrifying truth: Mount Massive isn’t a hospital. It’s a testing ground. Their cameras become their only weapons. Their footage becomes the only truth. Their choices decide who escapes — and who becomes part of the experiment. And in the end, the asylum won’t let them leave unchanged.
