Stan 在接受腿部人工关节植入手术时，似乎在术中醒了过来，这段创伤始终萦绕不去，他被一种挥之不去的恐惧攫住，总觉得自己的腿即将被敲碎。更糟的是，医院以床位不足为由，把一名身份不明的昏迷男子安排进了 Stan 的病房。然而，一旦只剩下他们两人，那名男子竟突然开口说话。一边是对身体遭到残损乃至彻底毁坏的恐惧，一边是这个陌生男人激起的焦虑，Stan 开始陷入偏执的漩涡。什么才是真正可怕的？真正的恐惧并非来自看得见、知道的东西，而是来自看不见、无从知晓的东西。影片忠实遵循惊悚类型长久以来的原则，即无知与未知是恐惧的条件，将病房这一狭窄封闭的空间变成了悬念迭起的舞台。在这里，一次普通的注射、日常的餐食、寻常的对话、简单的散步，甚至排泄，都成了生死之间的踏脚石。
