Ted Swan is the night superintendent at a mental hospital where his duties include keeping an eye on a community of patients who govern themselves. Swan's world is a cosy one: secure job, desirable wife-a shade too desirable perhaps. And tonight the smashing of a hospital window starts a train of events he cannot control.
