Plots(1)

One day, as part of a college internship for trainee therapists, Jessica is assigned the task of looking after Barbara. Diagnosed with borderline personality disorder, intelligent but troubled Barbara is already aware of her own volatility, describing herself as a 'ticking time bomb', inches away from complete self destruction. Initially approaching her subject with clinical objectivity, Jessica gradually finds herself drawn into Barbara's chaotic but warmly human world, choosing to open up about herself in ways she would never have dreamed of before. But, as Barbara starts to gain control of her own inner landscape, Jessica is forced, for the first time in her life, to stare into the unexplored abyss of her own. Now teetering on the very edge, only she can decide which way to step. (Cinemax)
