Karen loves her job as a psychiatrist and she's good at it. She is a fixer and prides herself on being in control, of her own lives and her best friends Bea and Eleanor.

But when she takes on a new patient, Jessica Hamilton, her world is flipped on it's head. Jessica is aggressive and cagey and knows things about her personal life and her friends which she should not know. Who is she?

As cracks begin to show in Karen's professional and personal life she begins to wish she'd never taken on this new patient. Or does she?
