Summary
Martie Rhodes assists her friend Susan Jagger, who has agoraphobia, in attending appointments with psychotherapist Dr. Ahriman. Dusty, Martie's spouse, attempts to aid his brother Skeet by giving work in his painting business.
Skeet, who had previously been in drug recovery, relapses, and attempts suicide by jumping from a roof. Dusty falls from the roof while trying to save Skeet and chooses to return his brother to rehab.
Martie has a puzzling case of autophobia and comes home, only to be terrified by her own mirror. Later, her condition increases, and she quickly develops a fear of sharp items, despite the fact that she is truly scared of the harm she may wreak with them.
When Dusty leaves Skeet in the recovery facility, he observes a shadow in his brother's room window. Strange phenomena, such as Skeet, Martie's autophobia, and hypnotism, begin to occur for both Dusty and Martie.
The pair finally realizes that they have both been gradually indoctrinated and trained to obey Dr. Ahriman, a sexual psychopath who poisons and indoctrinates his victims before raping or ordering them to commit murders or suicide for his delight.
After realizing that she had recorded him having sex with her, Dr. Ahriman ordered Susan to commit herself by cutting her wrists. Skeet has also been programmed by the doctor, resulting in his incapacity to fully heal from drug usage and skewed thinking.
Dr. Ahriman creates control by mentioning a name and then reciting a haiku to patients, almost quickly putting them in a detached state of awareness. He tries to explain this by claiming that by directing specific patients to commit heinous crimes like as mass murders, bombings, and random shootings, he may compel laws to make the world a "better place."
Dr. Ahriman is finally slain by another patient who was terrified of Keanu Reeves' portrayal in The Matrix. Dr. Ahriman, the lady suspects, is one of the Machine operatives attempting to manipulate her.
Dusty and Martie acquire a sizable sum from Susan's bequest and gradually attempt to rebuild their damaged lives.
