Synopsis: A violent Afghanistan war hero and struggling addict enters a drug treatment facility, and must confront her demons and question her own sanity as patients are brutally murdered one by one.
Rising scream queen Stephanie Pearson (Insidious: Chapter 2; Kiss Kiss Bang Bang) stars in a visceral and raw performance as Ronnie Price, a struggling addict and decorated war hero from Afghanistan who suffers from severe PTSD, hallucinations, and violent blackouts. After being admitted to a drug treatment facility, Ronnie blacks out and attacks another patient. A young and idealistic psychiatrist (Hope Quattrocki) is determined to help Ronnie, while other staff attempt to discharge her.
When a massive blizzard traps everyone in the facility, patients begin to brutally die one by one, and Ronnie must confront her own savage nature and sanity, and fight to overcome her violent past and psychological war trauma.
Said Director/Co-Writer John Liang, ‘In RECOVERY, I wanted to explore the darkness of addiction, the struggle to get clean and one veteran’s post-traumatic stress through the lens of horror. I wanted to put the audience in the head of a recovering addict who is in a fragile, delicate place and must face an enemy more real than her own demons.’
