Plot
From a young age, Herman Carter had an inquisitive mind, always wanting to learn, take things apart and put them back together, all in the name of science. In High School, Herman achieved near perfect grades and published his own book, 'Partisan', but Herman was not humble and became more obsessive. An opportunity arose when Herman was given quick access to Yale and was assigned to Lery's Memorial Institute, along with other apt students. Herman immediately had a problem with Professor Blanchard. Blanchard gave Herman his first interrogation assignment, where Herman would play the Bad Doctor while another classmate would play the Good Doctor while 7 other classmates would play prisoners and the doctors would interrogate the prisoners for passwords. As the Bad Doctor, Herman was given more tools, but he believed them to be ineffective. After days, Herman and the Good Doctor have gotten no passwords and Herman believes the Good Doctor to be too soft. Herman decides to starve the prisoners, but still grew frustrated and lusted for more brutal methods of interrogation.

During an interrogation, Herman beat the Good Doctor with a blunt object, to the other classmates' shock. Herman tied the other classmates down before ripping off parts of their skin to interrogate them and they told him the passwords, 'New', 'Reich', 'Horizons', 'Fourth', 'Bird' and 'Kill'. The classmates hope that Herman would stop since he has the passwords, but Herman wouldn't stop, since the experiment wouldn't end for another few days. Herman lets ideas go through his head as he realizes the Good Doctor is still alive. Herman forced the classmates' eyes open and opened their heads to experiment with lobotomy, before convincing the Good Doctor that the other classmates are Russian spies that he has to kill, so he would take all the blame for everything while Herman wouldn't be suspected. Herman handed the Good Doctor a spoon, which the Good Doctor used to kill the other classmates.

Blanchard returns with men in black suits. Herman tells Blanchard that the Good Doctor went crazy and killed everyone, but Blanchard had the whole experiment taped on security monitors, Herman is arrested, but Blanchard reveals that the cuffs are for show. Blanchard reveals that Lery's Memorial Institute is not a scholar program, but a secret black site facility and the men in black are CIA agents. Herman is recruited for interrogation experiments for the black site facility.

Over the years, Herman, under the mentorship of Dr. Otto Stamper, used electro convulsive treatments to interrogate prisoners, earning the moniker, 'The Doctor'. After days of silence, police were sent to investigate and found all the prisoners and personnel, including Professor Blanchard and Dr. Stamper, dead with all different types of head trauma, a couple of survivors were in vegetative states. All evidence of Lery's true intentions was destroyed and Herman was nowhere to be found.

Years later, e-sports gaming team, 'The Laser Bears', are on a bus heading back to the hotel they are staying at when a storm causes them to crash. They end up at Lery's Memorial Institute and the bus driver heads inside to look for a phone to call a mechanic. While inside, he finds a phone and tries to call a mechanic when he is stabbed from behind. The bus driver walks outside, before dropping dead from his wound. The team are all scared and team captain, Harold, tries to start the bus to drive away, but is unable. The team see a creepy figure in the window gesturing them to come inside and consider getting out of the bus and running away, which team member, Mikey, tries, but he is given a severe electric shock, which kills him.

The teens realize that they need to follow the figure's instructions if they are going to survive for longer. The team enter the Institute and the doors lock behind them and a voice over speakers says they are taking part in an experiment on fear and torture and their only way out is to find the generator to open the door. The group decide to split up to find the generator. Scarlett and Junior find a room that appears to be a morgue, Junior sits down while Scarlett looks around. One of the bodies sits up and kills Junior by snapping his neck. Scarlett gets cornered by Junior's killer, but is surprised when he doesn't kill her, instead giving her a non-lethal electric shock.

The others reunite in the lobby when Scarlett comes screaming at them about Junior's death. Scarlett freaks out when she sees the killer approaching the group, but the others don't see him. Feng offers to stay and calm down Scarlett while the others keep searching. Ellody finds a shower room and washes her face in the sink, she freaks out when she sees The Doctor in the reflection, but he isn't there when she turns around. She finds a projector in the corner of the room and realizes she saw a hologram, but The Doctor smashes through the mirror and cuts her throat with a broken piece of the mirror.

Beth and Laurie end up at a treatment theatre and look around, finding nothing. The girls hide when they hear a creepy laugh and approaching footsteps. The Doctor searches for them when Beth sees Laurie about to be caught and tries using sounds to distract The Doctor. Laurie tries to sneak away, but The Doctor bludgeons her to death with his weapon. The Doctor charges his electricity and shocks Beth until she passes out.

Harold and Cody find an office with video tapes showing The Doctor's experiments with many people over the years, they also notice the generator in the footage and realize that the generator is in the basement. Everyone returns to the lobby where Harold and Cody tell everyone about the generator in the basement when the lights go out. Everyone is given a shock from The Doctor and pass out. The group each wake up and discover Jay's dead body hanging from a hook.

The group stick together to search for the basement when each of them keep hallucinating that they are seeing The Doctor. They reunite with Beth and see The Doctor standing behind her, they all brush it off as another hallucination, but Feng realizes that if everyone is seeing him, he must be real. The Doctor impales Beth with his weapon and shocks the remaining survivors again.

The group get more paranoid as the hallucinations get worse. Scarlett, overcome with fear from the hallucinations, kills herself by jumping out the window. The 3 remaining survivors hear screaming coming from the treatment theatre and find that Jay is still alive, the body they saw hanging from the hook being another hallucination.

The Doctor announces that the basement entrance is hidden in the treatment theatre and the key is inside Jay, leaving the others to cut him open to get it, if they fail to find the key in time, The Doctor would release a deadly toxin that would kill everyone. While Jay begs for his life, Cody grabs a scalpel and cuts open Jay's torso before roughly searching for the key, killing Jay in the process. With time running out and no sign of the key, Feng notices the X-Rays on the floor and realizes the key was inside Jay's thigh, meaning Cody killed him for nothing.

Feng gets the key and finds the hidden door in time, but Cody closes the door behind him, leaving Harold locked out of the basement. Feng and Cody fix the generator and go to escape, when Cody threatens to shoot Feng, having gone insane from the electric shocks, Feng fights him off and tries to run, when The Doctor knocks Cody down with his weapon and violently electrocutes Cody to death. Feng runs from The Doctor to try to escape while The Doctor chases her, when The Doctor is about to catch up to her, Harold, having survived the toxin using a gas mask he found, tackles The Doctor, allowing Feng to escape.

As the doors close, Feng looks back to watch The Doctor repeatedly stab Harold to death with his weapon. 1 year later, Feng has become the captain of a new E-Sports team, but she still has hallucinations of The Doctor.
