About
Fires rage across the city. They have been purposefully lit. But why? By whom?
Meet Dr. Edgar Green.
Dr. Green is every bit sharp and calculating. You must be, to be the Master of the psychiatry game. Lighting up the room with his confident stride, sophisticated style and not a hair out of place, Green is sought after and revered.
At the hospital, people want Green’s expert insight into complex cases; and beautiful and powerful women fall over themselves to work alongside him.
The trouble is, Green can’t stand a soul. Especially his wife - but at least, there, the feeling is entirely mutual. Colleagues irk him and his patients are a bore. There’s a restlessness glowing inside him.
Despite his popularity, few know that Dr. Green is actually in crisis. His practice needs revival fast and truth be told, he deeply needs it too.
He stares into the mirror and takes a long, hard swill. It’s the burn at the back of the throat that feels so good. Just a few more…
Meanwhile, curious episodes piece together. Fires rage across the city. They have been purposefully lit. But why? People are worried. Heroic firemen are killed trying to stop the blazes and the media broadcast the footage like a hot rash.
Why hasn’t Green been called to help with investigations? He has before…
A mysterious envelope comes upon his mahogany desk. The penmanship is emotive and alluring. From the hand of an agoraphobic woman who can’t leave her apartment, pleading for help via letters to and fro, should he bother assisting her?
Laurent, his wife, is having an affair; and Green takes utmost pleasure in collecting the details as a way to trap her. She seeks a psychologist to try to save the marriage – but why does it have to be with this insipid, incapable woman?
Green’s nightmares intensify. The fires keep burning like an angry snake.
Where will this lucky break come from?
His pocket beeps.
Yet another female psychologist.
This time, it’s Dr. Helen deJarden, who he doesn’t altogether despise. And, she has a lead to go on...
Could a female psychologist be his way back into the high-end game?
Will his superior approach to understanding the human psyche, be the way that the city’s arsonist is found?
Or could these incessant, imploring letters, be the case to redeem his sanity and character?
How will Dr. Green piece his life back together to maintain the exquisite illusion?”
