Martin Sturrock is a psychologist with a slate of difficult cases. The badly burned Emily is immobilized by her facial disfigurement, Arta is a rape victim who can't resume a normal relationship with her husband, Ralph has a drinking problem that threatens his high-profile career, and David is a chronic depressive. Challenging work for any doctor--and impossible for one suffering from deep depression himself.
