The Brood
The story tells of a drama of a different kind. Psychologist Hal Raghlan runs the Somaveri Institute where he performs his own work. The events change as one of his patients is Nola Carfeth, a troubled woman who is legally persecuted with her husband for custody of their daughter. This profession in medicine may turn into another task where Raglan must help his patient in his battle as well as deal with his evil problems.
