Enter Dr Oliver Kanas, a psychiatrist looking to redeem himself and what better way than to do just that then by helping some impressionable minds following a tragic event. Get in, get out and then return to his life at the practice. Easy enough. Except it was never that simple, especially after he meets Lucca. And from then, it's nothing more than a game of cat and mouse.Complet
