Dogpile Other Logline: A contract construction worker, remodeling a State run Mental Hospital for Adolescents, stumbles upon the decadence and greed of the "governmental system" where he ultimately uncovers corrupt employees, an apathetic cross dressing nurse, and teen age sexual encounters of the patients, that result in babies being sold for under-the-table profit to unsuspecting adoptive parents. Synopsis: An unsuspecting contract construction worker, Yuki, is assigned to an in-need-of-remodeling, State run Adolescent Mental Hospital. As he makes his rounds measuring and assessing the work to be done he encounters a mass of half naked teen age bodies one on top of the other, arms and legs flailing and genitals rubbing on genitals, this dogpile is broken up by Nurse Roma, an apathetic Nurse Ratchit type who likes to take a smoking break just outside the oxygen in use rooms of teen age patients. She's weary and has seen it all and is completely unfased, all she wants to do is put in her time and go line dancing after hours. Yuki on his first day encounters the manager of the contract laborers, a state emplyoyee in charge of the maintenance of the hospital, Martin Luther King, who is not African American and gets great pleasure in the mistaken identity when placed next to his African American assistant. Martin instructs Yuki on taking coffee and lunch breaks, leave fifteen minutes early, come back fifteen minutes late, "that's how it's done here, the government pays us to waste money!". After Yuki has his hospital visitor labor i.d. he sets about his work and witnesses mentally ill teen agers urinating in drinking fountains, banging their heads against the cinder block walls, crying and screaming in corners, standing in medication lines and fornicating in empty hospital rooms. He is befriended by Stardust, a comely and very pregnant patient who smiles sweetly but has troubled eyes. Something about her is haunting to Yuki who recounts his day at home that night with his equally comely and very pregnant wife Carma. As Yuki's work progresses, he is privy to private conversations from corrupt hospital officials who talk about selling the babies of these mentally ill kids that are basically their cash cow; the very high sex drive of the teens who have unprotected sex, that results in a production line of babies just waiting to be sold to desparate unsuspecting couples that can't have their own child, can't wait for a legal adoption or just want to but a baby. In the eyes of the officials, Yuki as well as the patients aka baby makers, are unseen. What he experiences day in and day out haunts Yuki as well as seeing the debiltating effects of the drugs on his new friend Stardust who he discovers in a utility closet hysterically screaming "they're going to take my baby, they're going to take my baby" which the officials do the second the infant has slid from the birth canal and is barely cleaned up. The simple act of losing her child to another couple sends Stardust over the edge literally as Yuki witnesses her body fall from the roof of the hospital. Devastated he runs into the Mens Bathroom to throw up and almost retches a second time when the person peeing like a race horse at the urinal is Nurse Roma, a He not a She, actually a man that is having a sex change who pleads with Yuki to "forget about what you see here, it's the government, it's greed, it's life". What at first was all too overwhelming makes Yuki resolute to right the wrongs of these forgotten and troubled teens and ultimately do the right thing, one person, one baby, at a time.
