A killer is working the night shift at Salem Mercy Hospital. Or at least that's what psychic Copeland Forbes believes after an exposé highlighting unexplained deaths is published. Wanting to get involved, he's cautioned to let the matter go. People die in hospitals, Cope's told, and while that's unfortunately true, he knows these deaths are not from natural causes.
Detective Jude Byrne is content working his agency's slate of cases, staking out cheating spouses and uncovering insurance fraud. The last investigation he wants go get involved with is that of the possible hospital killer. But after suffering a basketball injury which requires surgery and an overnight stay at Salem Mercy, Jude is involved whether he wants to be or not. The question is, can he survive the night?
With the help of the West Side Detectives, a clever trap is laid. All that's left to do is wait for the start of the graveyard shift when the hunter is on the prowl. Can the madman be stopped in time? Or will Jude become the next victim to suffer a killer cure on the ghost shift?
