James Evans sees a lot of ugliness in his chosen profession of social worker. He has a lovely wife, and a beautiful daughter, that keep him sane. James also has a voice inside his head that represents a side of himself that few have ever seen. Those who have haven't enjoyed the results. He has done all he can to rid himself of the voice.

A child found brutally murdered sends James' mind into a tailspin. He looks to Dr. McIntosh for a cure which leads him to the Trinity Institute. Everything seems peaceful, but it doesn't take long before James is questioning what is fact and fiction, and McIntosh's motives. As he searches for answers and the rage inside boils over, James' mind unravels the dark fever so many of us suffer from, something of which there may not be a cure.
