Six toxic personalities in Atlanta's entertainment scene push their psychologist, Dr. Victoria Benning, to her limits in this gripping thriller by NAACP Image Award-winning author Omar Tyree. Despite knowing it's unethical to discuss her clients' therapy sessions, the chaos in their lives challenges her professional boundaries like never before. Dr. Benning counsels Mrs. Melody, a stunning rap artist who uses her sexuality to advance her career; Charles Clay, a manipulative film director with a penchant for exploiting women; and Tyrell Hodge, a frustrated screenwriter desperate for success. Dark & Moody, a music producer, believes a blood sacrifice is the key to his rise, while Joseph Drake, a venture capitalist grappling with White guilt, struggles with his family's legacy. Lastly, there’s Destiny Flowers, a dreamer who constantly tests the doctor's patience in her quest for peace. As Dr. Benning works tirelessly, she uncovers a troubling commonality among her clients—their desperate need for control over their lives, mirroring her own struggles. Determined to avert disaster, she devises a plan to harness their talents for mutual benefit. However, as she implements her strategy, unforeseen events spiral into chaos, threatening her career and personal life, plunging her into madness and a loss of control.
