The Patient

Anna Palmer could not have imagined her life would be turned upside down when she arose to face yet another grueling day of shift work on her Surgery Unit. Anna, a tired, burnt out Nurse meets her match in lady-loving, self-worshipping Tony who can't tolerate minor surgery and perceives Anna as a bossy know-it-all, standing up and embarrassing him in front of the Doctor and especially his buddies. This throws Tony on a slow slide into obsession and retaliation to redeem his machismo. He stalks and attacks Anna over and again to reclaim himself, only to fall further into failure and madness. Annas nightmare is hers alone. She will do anything to protect her family, including staying silent. But can she stop an animal and prove to her husband, coworkers and police she is innocent of any wrongdoing? Their final meeting will be a life and death struggle and only one can be the winner.
