In this 1970s, very dramatic indie film, our story centers around a psychiatrist and a hand full of his patients, whom he is having in-depth group therapy sessions with over several months. The group consists of a Pro athlete who has issues with his conservative father, a spoiled, pregnant little rich girl who is also a heroin addict, a repressed and suicidal gay man, an unwed mother of a biracial child angry over her mother's attitude toward her and her child, a depressed drummer in an identity crisis after the breakup of his band, and a pathological liar masquerading as a teacher. In their sessions, the patients share the raw details of their deepest hurts, fears, and flaws, while getting to the root causes of why they are there seeking help.
