Doctor Jack Gallagher is a radically unorthodox psychiatrist who becomes Director of Mental Health Services hospital at a Los Angeles hospital where he takes on patients battling unknown, misunderstood and and often misdiagnosed psychiatric conditions. Gallagher has developed a mysterious ability to get into the brains of his patients and see the way they see the reality, allowing him to uncover what might be to their long-term recovery. This perspective leads Gallagher to perform strange treatments for his patients.
