The story tells of some aspiring musicians who are working as cooks at the insane asylum and become trapped there when a major thunderstorm hits. Apparently that’s the same time the inmates find their way out.

THE INCIDENT turns on three rock band members who work in a high-security asylum -- until a freak storm blows the asylum's security system, unleashing its criminal patients and trapping the rockers.

The thriller is the feature film debut of French music video director Alexandre Courtes (U2, Jane's Addiction, The White Stripes). First timer S. Craig Zahler wrote the script.
