What should have been just another night on the job turns into a desperate fight for survival for three friends when the inmates of a high security asylum break free from their cells.
Rock musicians George, Max and Ricky work in the kitchen at the local asylum to make ends meet - the pay is good and they're at minimal risk, having no direct contact with the inmates. One night, just before dinner time, a storm shuts down the security system and the doors to all the cells open, letting the lunatics loose. Outnumbered and almost defenseless in the dark, the trio must find a way to survive until help arrives. A nerve-shattering thriller, Asylum Blackout is a terrifying plunge into darkness where the things that go bump in the night become a very real threat.
