Frieda Klein es una reputada psiquiatra residente en Londres. Tiene cuarenta años, es solitaria, padece de insomnio y detesta las multitudes. Pero su vida cambia drásticamente el día que las fantasías más perturbadoras de uno de sus pacientes coinciden sospechosamente con un crimen real: Alan Decker, que padece graves problemas psicológicos como consecuencia de haber sido abandonado cuando era un recién nacido, tiene sueños en los que se le aparece un niño pelirrojo sospechosamente parecido a Matthew, la reciente víctima de un secuestro.
