Jolted awake from a recurring nightmare, clinical psychologist, GRACE MORGAN rushes to Ellis House to de-escalate EMILY ROWAN, a suicidal client who was admitted to the facility several hours earlier. Grace quickly learns that managing unstable clients are the least of her worries at Ellis House, the group home for emotionally disturbed children where she recently accepted employment. Recent budget cuts and long hours exacerbate the conflict between the residential staff and the mental health professionals. Although she acknowledges the frustration among the staff, she does not understand the overt hostility directed towards her from a newly hired therapist who constantly defies her authority. BARBARA LEVY, the residential director of the group home, is also adversarial, intent on seeing Grace and the clinical program fail. But why, and what is her real agenda? Despite Barbara's bullying Grace finds the unlikely support of CORRINE DUSCHENE, a residential shift supervisor. Suspiciously, Corrine disappears the night she discloses to Grace a longstanding pattern of corrupt practices at the group home. The police investigation changes from missing persons to homicide when Corrine's frozen remains are found several months later.
