Both are dedicated, highly skilled, and frequently in heated opposition over the most efficacious treatment of their patients. One of their guinea-pigs is an extraordinary man called Jeremy, who might be a temporal-lobe-epileptic or the victim of his early family life. When both men find themselves unable to handle him and Dr Erdler refuses to continue psychiatric treatment, Jeremy begins a persecution campaign centred on Fenella, Dr Erdler's wife.
