When denied justice in life, the dead may return to seek it once again. When Jake Porter brings his mother to live at the Glastenbury Mountain Rest Home, he is unaware of its past as a tuberculosis sanatorium. However, the home's past is all too clear to some of the current residents, who report strange sights and noises, but it's easy for the staff to dismiss their reports; the very old often suffer from dementia. Taking time to settle his mother in properly, Jake begins to hear stories from other residents, and even the home's director. Embarrassed by some of the second-rate reality tv series he's produced in the past, Jake senses a chance to tell a real story: one of disease, racism, and a hospital whose most notable feature is a "death chute." The devil is in the details, but will he survive to find them?

"The Death Chute is a chilling story of man's inhumanity to man within a timeless ghost story. It calls into question the idea that the end justifies the means and the very current debate over whether some lives are worth more than others. The Death Chute is "...creepy and emotional and just all around fantastic."

"In the arena of creepy old buildings, few can compare with the hospital or asylum. You know the type of place, with the long history, the troubled patients, lots of deaths, possible abuse or neglect or other horrible goings-on... But with this one, it’s a little different. Rather than the derelict ruins left to gloomy decay, where intrepid urban explorers or ghost hunters might go, the former Glastenbury Mountain tuberculosis sanatorium has been spruced up and revitalized as a posh rest/care home for the elderly. The vengeful spirits, meanwhile, are reaching a paranormal boiling point, and soon the living will be lucky to make it out alive."
