In Nick Willing's dark, gruesome thriller, Goran Visnjic (ER) plays a London-based hypnotherapist with the creepy ability to read people's minds. Brittle detective Shirley Henderson thinks Visnjic can get through to the girl (Sophie Stuckey) who hasn't spoken since she escaped from the clutches of a serial killer. The plot stretches credibility (particularly as the killer's motives become clear), but the leads are solid and there are some spooky moments.
