His wife, Nola, has been institutionalized under Raglan's care, and she undergoes a unique form of therapy called psychoplasmics. This therapy manifests her anger and emotions into physical entities.

As Frank delves deeper into Raglan's methods, a series of vicious murders begins to terrorize the town. The victims all have connections to Frank and Nola, leading him to suspect that Nola's therapy is somehow connected to the killings. Desperate to protect his daughter, Candice, from her mother's transformative anger, Frank must unravel the disturbing secrets behind the murders and the nature of psychoplasmics.
