What sets it apart
May contain story progression spoilers
Dr. Jane Mathis attempts to treat a new patient while her own trauma makes the therapeutic setting increasingly unsafe and uncertain.
Jane’s work as a psychiatrist is directly entangled with the violent attack she is trying to recover from.
The psychiatrist-patient relationship transforms clinical rooms and sessions into arenas of dread rather than refuge.
The new patient’s terrifying history is disclosed through an uncertainty-driven investigation rather than straightforward exposition.
