Our parents have conditioned us from an early age to trust our doctors. Most people believe that doctors have their patients' best interests at heart. What happens when a well-respected psychiatrist believes he is above the law and he manipulates his patients to get them to carry out a twisted form of vigilante justice?
Joey Gellar was a hard luck story if there ever was one. He grew up fatherless and his mother was both drug addict and prostitute. Joey lived a rudderless existence, good at only one thing - being a magnet for trouble. After the police arrest Joey and charge him, a sympathetic judge sentences Joey to probation and psychiatric counselling.
Enter Dr. Holbrook Devon, Joey's court appointed psychiatrist. Hidden beneath Dr. Devon's polished image and diplomas a dark secret dwelled. Dr. Devon shared his secret with a handful of patients. Joey was one of these patients.
As Joey's treatment progressed, Dr. Devon gradually entwined Joey in a demented web of deceit, leaving Joey no other option than to permanently escape the clutches of Dr. Devon. But, could Joey escape where other patients have failed?
