Frank Carveth's wife is treated by Oliver Reed, a psychiatrist using a new method - the psycho-plasmic therapy - to cure his patients. As Carveth's little girl, after a week-end spent at Reed's clinic with her mother, has come home with bruises on her back, Frank doesn't want her to visit her mom anymore. Soon, the grandparents of the little girl are murdered.

A medical thriller dealing with the subject of the New Psychiatry, a topic that was much discussed in the late seventies.
