As a young man, Michael Ellison had no ambition to play centre forward for
Halifax Town - nor even to become one of the area's textile millionaires.
Instead, he wanted to be the town clerk. Twenty years or so later, he made it. The job is now called, grandly, Chief Executive, and it makes him one of the busiest men in Calderdale. Rumour has it they call him the Whip.

Have the new winds of reform reached into the asylums? When it meets in October in Athens, will the World Psychiatric
Association re-admit the Soviet Union?

Kenny's work as a nurse in a psychiatric hospital isn't just a job, it's a vocation. His special group of patients are his friends - his only friends.
When a strange young man is introduced to the group, he threatens the love, discipline and respect that have been the very basis of Kenny's authority, and all that surrounds the institution is scant protection from the madness of the world beyond.
