Synopsis

Wil's break for freedom from a brutal psychiatric regime confronts him with unexpected choices. Who can he trust - an alluring voice from his childhood dreams, or a big-hearted nurse who reassures him: 'Not all of these places are the same'? A poignant novella about a damaged individual and his bid for freedom from an inhuman mental health system. Gul Y. Davis's nightmarish vision is balanced by wit, tenderness and a passionate sense of humanity.
