The story

Hal Raglan, a psychotherapist, encourages patients with mental disturbances to let go of their suppressed emotions through physiological changes to their bodies in a technique he calls "psychoplasmics".

During the therapy sessions, he discovers that Nola was abused by her alcoholic mother, Juliana, while neglected by her father Barton, who refused to protect Nola out of shame and denial.

While in the kitchen, Juliana is attacked and bludgeoned to death by a small, dwarf-like child.
