In the spine-chilling thriller Schism, Nola Riggs, a talented but troubled young woman with a history of mental illness, is transferred to a secluded psychiatric facility renowned for its experimental treatments. As Nola begins her new regimen, she experiences haunting visions and a deepening sense of paranoia that mirrors her previous psychological struggles. Torn between the possibility that her old demons are resurfacing and the disturbing notion that the facility's staff may be deliberately manipulating her mind, Nola finds herself trapped in a nightmarish reality. As the line between sanity and delusion becomes increasingly indistinguishable, Nola must uncover the truth behind the facility’s sinister intentions before her grip on reality slips away forever.
