Dr. Connie Woolwine, is a forensic profiler known for her ability to get inside the minds of criminals. In this story, she goes undercover in a high-security prison hospital for the criminally insane to investigate a murder and a kidnapping. Very quickly Connie realises that all is not as it seems in the Institution and that those in power might be the ones whom she should be investigating.  A fast moving claustrophobic psychological thriller where the reveal is as unpredictable as every other twist and turn.
