The premise

Psychiatrist Ann Hecker is ending one relationship and possibly starting an important new one, while finding that some of the sexual exploits her patients relate are weighing on her. Turning to a married friend from her research days for guidance, she finds his help increasingly important when a female patient is murdered and it turns out that her new boyfriend was also seeing the dead woman.

Horror Vault's take

A New York psychiatrist finds her personal and professional worlds dangerously entangled when a patient turns up dead and her new romantic interest is drawn into the investigation. The confidences whispered on her couch begin to feel less like case studies and more like warnings she should have heeded. As the body count and the suspicion mount, she must question everyone around her — including herself. This sleek early-90s erotic thriller keeps you guessing about who is predator and who is prey.
