Ok, let's get the facts straight first. Going back to the original post:

"...Nathaniel, a meek and troubled patient at a mental institution who finds himself trapped under the thumb of its evil and overbearing warden, ...Jacob, who takes pleasure in tormenting his most disturbed and helpless patients.

Nothing was mentioned about the ARC centered in a mental hospital, only that Nathaniel was a patient, and Jacob was the warden.

The casting call was for brothers, but this does not sound like brothers. So my guess is that the brothers part was red herring material. although, this is Once, so anything is possible, but if these ARE brothers, then their family is even more dysfunctional than the typical once famly.

Also, I could see them turning this so that the meek and troubled patient was the "villain", and the overbearing warden is more of an anti-hero.
