Emily Taylor, despite being reunited with her husband from prison, becomes severely depressed with emotional episodes and suicide attempts. Her psychiatrist, Jonathan Banks, after conferring with her old doctor, eventually prescribes her an experimental new medication he’s consulting on, Ablixa. However, its side effects on Emily prove increasingly serious with Emily sleepwalking until she kills her husband in that state. With Emily plea bargained into a mental hospital commitment and Dr. Banks’ practice in ruins, the case seems closed. However, Dr. Banks cannot accept he was at fault and investigates to clear his name. What follows is a dark quest that threatens to tear what’s left of his life apart even as he discovers the diabolical truth of this tragedy.

The movie starts out very typical and predictable. It gets a bit boring until about 45 minutes into the movie when the Channing Tatum character gets murdered. Once you get the no-talent stripper out of the picture, the plot develops and just when you are about to get board with what you feel is a predictable conclusion it flips and actually perks up your interest. For those of you who can remember the Alec Baldwin and Nicole Kidman medical thriller, Malice, you will see great similarities in the plot development. This is just on a slightly different slant.

The movie is watchable and provides good entertainment if you can overlook the fact that Channing Tatum is a no-talent lummox.
