The setting for this short is the infamous New Jersey State Run insane asylum known as Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital.

Kathy is an idealistic social worker at the infamous Greystone Park Psychiatric Hospital in the 1970's. When she discovers the asylum psychiatrist, Dr. Puvac, is using ECT treatments on all the patients for his own sexual gratification, she tries to end his reign of terror. But, every attempt to protect her patients fails. To make matters worse, back in the day, no one in the sane world cared about mental patients. The mantra was - Lock them all up and throw away the key.

At the same time, deinstitutionalization was taking hold in the United States. Monty, a lawyer with heart, is appointed guardian ad litem for all 4000 patients in the asylum. Kathy figures with his help, she can protect her patients until they are free.

Eventually, Dr. Puvac loses control and kills two patients during a maniacal ECT sexual bender.

Fearing Monty will stop him, Dr. Puvac attempts to shock Monty to death. Kathy battles with Dr. Puvac. Her adrenaline is super fueled by the knowledge Dr. Puvac used ECT on her own mother. He shocked her until she slept with him and ultimately resulted in Kathy's birth. Then, he gave her one shock too many and she left the asylum in a coffin.

The battle ends when Kathy overpowers Dr. Puvac.

Kathy succeeds in banning shock treatments in Greystone.

A year later, only 313 out of the original 4000 patients remain in the asylum.
