The Brooklyn psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Strange is certain she knows what´s best for her patients, her family, and pretty much everyone else, but that all changes when a troubled young man arrives for his appointment and makes a pair of alarming confessions: I am going to kill someone, and I know who you really are. Dr. Caroline is accustomed to hearing her patients´ deepest, darkest secrets, but it seems Nelson Schack may be one step ahead when detectives show up later that day, inquiring about a missing woman. It looks like Nelson has made good on his threat - yet somehow it´s Dr. Caroline who becomes the prime suspect. Convinced the police are incompetent, and hell-bent on proving that she´s right, Dr. Caroline takes matters into her own hands, chasing down the elusive Nelson and running headlong into a past she has spent her entire life trying to forget.
