Ion sits in his rickety chair, hoping for sleep but remaining wide awake. He’s the town’s doctor, but feels more like a janitor in the dilapidated Gorewood ‘Emergency Room’. The sounds of screaming from his brother’s ‘surgery room’ are a common occurrence. Gorewood is a forgotten town, a breeding ground for despair. Ion, despite his training, feels trapped, treating injuries caused by the same people he tries to help. He’s the reluctant ‘hero’ of Gorewood, caught in a cycle of despair, a legacy inherited from his family’s history of violence.
