Sarah Lotz and Louis Greenberg return to Downside, this time exploring the more medical aspects of weird. Farrell, a wealthy, successful designer, wakes up in – horror of horrors – a public hospital, blind, with a gap in his memory. Less stable Lisa is in the same hospital to provide an infusion of much-needed cash to the South African public hospital system by undergoing a less necessary procedure, and the two of them end up in the Ward, a Downside institution where surgery serves a rather different purpose. The Ward is more specific and therefore more disturbing than The Mall.
