Martin Sturrock desperately needs a psychiatrist. The problem? He is one. Emily is a traumatised burns victim, and Arta a Kosovan refugee recovering from a rape.

Little do they know that Sturrock's own mind is not the reassuring place they believe it to be. For years he has hidden in his work, ignoring his demons. But now his life is falling apart, and as his ghosts come back to haunt him, the only person he can turn to is a patient.
