Blackthorn Psychiatric Hospital has always been a place where sanity is difficult to distinguish from madness.

Hidden beyond the outskirts of the city, the old psychiatric institution houses patients considered too dangerous, too unstable, or simply too broken to return to society.

I'm one of Blackthorn's newest psychologists. Intelligent, composed, and determined to understand even the most difficult patients, I accept a case that most of her colleagues would rather avoid. even my boyfriend Dr. Nathaniel Reed, and my friends Dr. Clara Morgan and Dr. Elias Graves.

Adrian Vale.

His medical file is unusually thick. His history is fragmented, contradictory, and filled with incidents that no one has been able to fully explain. Adrian has been diagnosed with severe antisocial and psychopathic traits, along with extreme emotional instability. He is manipulative, unpredictable, and frighteningly observant.

Yet there is something unusual about him.

Adrian seems remarkably cooperative whenever I enter in the room.

At first, she assumes it is progress.

Then I realize he remembers everything about me.

The things I say. The things I don't say. My routines. My relationship with Nathaniel, one of the other psychologists at Blackthorn.

And most disturbingly, Adrian doesn't seem interested in being cured.

He seems interested in me.

As I continue treating him, the boundaries between doctor and patient begin to blur. Adrian's obsession grows quietly behind his calm exterior, while strange incidents begin occurring throughout the hospital.

Someone is watching me.

Someone knows when I leave.

And Adrian always seems to know more than he should.

Blackthorn was built to contain dangerous minds.

But what happens when the most dangerous patient inside it decides that his psychologist belongs to him?
