Chigger is the bad one. And it’s time for him to take his medicine.

Our narrator awakens in Smithfield Mental Health Care Facility after a failed suicide attempt has left him with nearly total memory loss. Under the care of staff psychiatrist Dr. Lorey, the narrator adopts the alias ‘Sam’ and begins regular therapy sessions in the hope of recovering his true identity. Sam soon discovers that he does have some recall, but only from the violent and traumatic childhood he endured with his unruly sibling, remembered only by the nickname ‘Chigger’.

The more Sam remembers about his troubled childhood, the stranger things become at Smithfield. Sam begins to question his own sanity when he finds himself haunted by a malevolent adult version of Chigger. With the help of a fellow patient named Kristy, Sam begins to uncover the truth behind Smithfield and why it seems Chigger is intent on tormenting him from beyond the grave.
