Based on Lars Von Trier's miniseries entitled RIGET, Stephen King's 15-hour drama is a hospital-bound ghost story that follows the more or less eccentric inhabitants of Kingdom Hospital. Built on the same land where a mill burned down during the Civil War, the hospital is exhibiting numerous signs of paranormal activity. At night, children can be heard screaming in pain, while the near-resident hypochondriac and psychic, Mrs. Druse (Diane Ladd, ALICE DOESN'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE, WILD AT HEART), is certain that something is amiss. As the series unfolds, patients and doctors alike become increasingly convinced of the impinging presence of the supernatural, with more and more people experiencing terrifying encounters. In this installment, Mrs. Druse and Dr. Hook (Andrew McCarthy, PRETTY IN PINK) attempt contact with Mary's ghost by soliciting the aid of a dying patient, and a criminal on the lam hides out in the hospital. Meanwhile, an attorney admitted to Kingdom for a heart attack attempts to move himself to the top of the organ donor list. The dark-hearted Dr. Stegman (Bruce Davidson, HATE CRIMES) uses some unfortunate surgical techniques on a homeless patient, and later undergoes an unpleasant induction that sends him into the basement of the facility, where he finds that the horrors have only just begun.
