Description

A young psychiatrist's overconfidence leads to catastrophic consequences when he undertakes curing a mysterious and profoundly dangerous patient. In a series of online posts, Parker chronicles his harrowing experience working at a mental hospital in New England. The hospital's most difficult case is a 40-year-old man with no known diagnosis, whose symptoms seem to evolve over time. Every person who has attempted to treat him has been driven to madness or suicide. Desperate and fearful, the hospital's directors keep him strictly confined, convinced that releasing him would unleash catastrophe on the world. As Parker delves deeper into the mystery patient's case, he is forced to question everything he thought he knew, facing a possibility beyond his wildest imaginings.
