A noir-inflected thriller about deception and corruption set within the claustrophobic, unsettling confines of a mental asylum.

Behind the locked doors of a mental institution resides crooked politico Judge Drake, free from prosecution so long as he pretends to be crazy.

Meanwhile, reporter Kathy Lawrence, posing as Stewart's wife, acts as his liaison to the outside world.
