Nearby Lindisholm Hospital is a privately run high-security hospital regarded as a model for a new profit-making approach to treating mental illness – until its policy of involving low-risk patients in the local community results in a series of bizarre incidents, including a fatal accident on Ben’s farm. As he investigates, Ben begins to suspect that deep within the cloisters of this ultra-modern facility there are dark and disturbing forces at work...
