Dr. Philippa Ottinger is the new psychologist at Bedlam Hospital over the objections of the director. What would a mere woman know of the workings of the mind?
"If it had not been for some meddling uncle," he complains, "she could not have swayed the board of directors."
"Why don't you tell him yourself?"
"And which stripling baronet might he be?" he demanded.
"Wellington, if you must know."
The Director paled... and there was no further complaint from the director.
One of the brutal and sadistic male nurses is found dead and several inmates are suspected. When Dr. Ottinger sets out to investigate, she gets more than she bargained for.
Some of the inmates seem to be socially unacceptable because of their abilities... some uncanny, at that. How can she harness this awesome power for the good?

Davey Everton was eight years old in 1953 when the horror came to Willysville.
His rock during the crisis was surprisingly found in the person of Hattie McCagle, an aged African-American grandmother, hired to babysit Davey, his brother, and a few other children during the summer months of that year. She drove away the demons that plagued them and kept the children in her care safe from all threats, real and imagined.
Years later, a similar crisis occurs in the town of Davey's grandchildren. He dismisses it from his mind, until he happens to catch a glimpse of a familiar face in the news report: his old babysitter, Hattie McCagle.
But if she was close to seventy then, how could she still be alive today?
