Summaries

  • When a rising psychologist's dream career is undermined by the very mentor she admires, she must confront her childhood trauma and find the strength to take her life back - before she loses everything.
  • Perplection is a haunting psychological thriller exploring manipulation, trauma, and self-reclamation. On the cusp of earning her license as a clinical psychologist, Viana Young appears to be a rising star - brilliant, compassionate, and admired. But behind the peaceful hospital walls, her trusted mentor Dr. Joseph Turner begins to undermine her for his own reasons with subtle criticisms and misplaced doubts. He's not just challenging her - he's dismantling her. As the pressure mounts, Viana's perfectionism - a relic of her hypercritical childhood - resurfaces, and her grip on reality starts to slip. Flashbacks bleed into hallucinations. Mirrors and other reflective surfaces distort. Colleagues, patients, and even her own mentor mock secrets she's never spoken aloud. What began as a professional mentor/protege relationship unravels into a power struggle rooted in control, projection, and psychological warfare. But Viana is no ordinary prey. Armed with empathy, intuition, and the very tools of her trade, she initiates a defense to keep her career and her sanity.
