In Their Own Words

Nothing to See Here

|

A taut, unrelenting psychological thriller, Nothing to See Here introduces Alan Sarnower. A successful, caring, congenial and well-respected psychiatrist, Sarnower finds himself in extraordinary circumstances when his wife, Cassie, in the midst of a psychotic episode, suddenly leaves him and their young son.

When Cassie returns unexpectedly with a new lover and announces her intention to divorce, Sarnower's life and sanity begin to unravel. As the bizarre and vindictive divorce proceeds, Sarnower's once-disciplined life dissolves into a series of forgotten responsibilities and missed appointments. An affair with his seductive secretary provides only temporary relief from his frightening descent into mental illness.

As his comfortable suburban life recedes, Sarnower, now sicker than his patients, will be left with few choices.
