Plot summary

January 1966. Dr. James Lawrence, a psychiatrist at St. Christina's hospital in Northwestern Ontario, does not appear for work the day after a session with Michael Aleen, a young patient in his care. Dr. Toby Greene inherits Lawrence's patient load and meets Michael, without having read his file. Michael talks about his mother's singing career and the father he saw only once, and shows how much he knows about Greene's own life and about hospital secrets. Head nurse Susan Peterson, who knows Michael well and was once Greene's wife, urges him to keep his distance. Michael sets conditions for telling what he knows.
