Built into the backdrop of a remote hillside deep in the bayous of New Orleans, Louisiana sits Stonewall Plantation. Dr. Marcus Rutowski, the esteemed psychiatrist of rare case studies has recently transferred his private practice there from the University of Minnesota campus in downtown Minneapolis, to assume a personal caretaker position to old Henry Lee Stonewall, the last known living descendant of Stonewall lineage. After old man Stonewall's health mysteriously deteriorates and no relatives exist to inherit the Stonewall grounds, Dr. Rutowski acquires the property through a forged living will. Then he converts the plantation into his very own private psychiatric facility. For the newly acquired patients of Stonewall Asylum therapy is filled with dark revelations. Criminals undergoing routine psychiatric evaluations are committed before trial under panic induced psychosis. In-housed patients regularly disappear from the group, along with any record of them ever being admitted to the facility after being summoned to Dr. Rutowski's office for private routine therapy sessions. The remaining patients notice that the groups are getting smaller but won't dare say a word. For whoever speaks out against the good doctor will more than likely be the next one missing from the group. Mortifying screams ravage the halls of the asylum in the late hours of the night. What secrets lay behind the doors of Stonewall Asylum? A place where the tending physician has a psychosis darker and more disturbed than that of his own patients, a psychosis that sees all of his patients as mind puzzles that only he can fix. However, for those suffering from extreme amoral behavior, their only hope of salvation will be through The Light of Death Himself... The Widow Maker.
