Horror
How evil grows in the heart of a child is made flesh in a
taut psychological thriller from psychiatrist/author Charles
Atkins An out-of-control teenager attacks her mother in an
emergency room. While upstairs, a nurse is stabbed to death
on an inpatient psychiatric unit. The murder suspect, a
seventeen year-old-boy with schizophrenia becomes catatonic.
Enter Dr. Molly Katz, a senior psychiatric resident and
mother of two who, in an attempt to understand how she
missed murder in the mind of her patient, gets drawn into
the dark world of kids gone bad--really bad. Through Molly's
eyes we track the steps of a killer from the streets and
suburbs of Boston to the wards of a hospital for the
criminally insane. As Molly struggles to free a boy from
psychosis and the threat of prison, the killer's thirst for
blood grows and his eyes turn to Molly and her children.
It's nature versus nurture at its wildest as we face the
ultimate question: Is evil learned or can a child be born
without a soul?
