"There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbour grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself," teases the show synopsis.
"As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde's walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him."
