A medical thriller with a unique perspective on the functioning of the brain and the vulnerability of our common sense. -Brain on Fire- The 24-year-old journalist Ava Williams wakes up in the hospital one day. She is tied to her bed, is under strict surveillance and can barely talk or think. A few weeks before, she was perfectly healthy; an ambitious, successful journalist at the New York Post. -Brain on Fire- It started with small things; she became suspicious and imagined things. Within a week it got worse; she thought she could make people older with her brain and hallucinated that her father killed his wife. Then she became catatonic and slowly slid down to death. Doctors desperately sought a cause, until a brilliant neurologist at the last moment discovered that Ava suffered from a very rare autoimmune disease in which the body attacks the brain.All Rights Reserved
