Synopsis:

After nearly a hundred years of service, the Mercy Falls Children's Hospital is closing its doors for good. It seems that the local authorities have detected a strange deterioration of the building's structure. During the next three weeks the remaining patients will be transferred to London hospitals. But the process is taking longer than expected. A series of rainstorms has grounded the helicopters in charge of transporting the patients. And then there is the problem of the strange incidents.

In Wight Island, Amy Nicholls arrives in the old Mercy Falls Children Hospital to work as night nurse as replacement of the former nurse Susan. The hospital is in a deactivation process, with the patients being transferred to Saint James Hospital; however, due to a train crash, the closing process has been postponed. Amy is introduced to eight children with lung cases by the nurse Helen Perez, and she feels a sort of attraction for the terminal girl Maggie. Maggie likes to play with some letter blocks to talk with the 'mechanical girl' called Charlotte that would live upstairs, in an abandoned floor. Amy asks about Charlotte to her coworkers and they explain that she is an urban legend and the Maggie is making up her existence. But sooner they find that the children can not be transferred to Saint James since there is something evil that wants to keep them near.

As the new night nurse at a soon to be abandoned children's hospital readies the last group of orphans to leave, it becomes increasingly clear that these are not normal children. Something living in the hospital, something the children call the 'mechanical girl,' has a terrifying hold over them and will stop at nothing to keep them in the hospital with her forever.
