Two medical students turn to organ theft as a way to pay off their student debts.
Noah is a young recent medical school graduate. He is recruited by an older medical student, Richard, to drug and steal a young woman's kidney to sell on the black market. But Noah is unsure if a lifetime of helping people with his medical abilities will counteract one night of evil.
The budget for the film was small. The director, Henry Jarvis, being only a freshman in film school did not have much in terms of resources and financing. With no other option, Jarvis decided to fund the film himself. The budget only allowed the hotel room, in which the film is shot, to be used for one night. Meaning that the cast and crew of the film had to film the entire project in one night. The location also demanded that no external lighting was brought onto the set. Jarvis and the Director of Photography, Zhican Tu, worked together to make sure that the characters were lit enough and the story could still be told. Jarvis chose a very small crew that covered only the bare minimum for a shoot and was able to achieve this with his fast pace directing and extreme coordination during pre-production.
