Synopsis/Details
Paula, a psychiatrist, age about forty, is interviewing Erin, her patient, probing her to see if she will reveal a secret. but Erin wants to keep it to herself. Paula says she cannot abide a mystery and visits Erin at her apartment, to examine her further. Erin will not tell, so Paula threatens to have her put into a mental hospital, so Erin reveals a bit, but not all of her secret. Paula is attracted to Erin and plies her with psychiatric drugs, injecting her, rendering Erin unconscious . Whilst she is asleep, Paula has sex with Erin. Erin wakes to hear a tirade from Paula about how much she hates men. Paula reveals that she has drugged and had sex with a number of her patients and threatened them not to disclose the truth, because she would have them certified and put in a mental hospital, where they would be put on a lot of drugs, so they would not know what they were doing or saying, and she would claim their accusations were delusions. Erin quizzes Paula who reveals that as a medical student many years ago, she dated a guy who drugged her and had sex with her when she was unconscious, but she did not report him or seek redress. Instead, she passed her exams and qualified as a psychiatrist. She re-enacted the rape of herself but this time with her in charge and performing the assault on helpless women. But Paula is beginning to fall genuinely in love with Erin, who is now sympathizing with her, as she knows her past. Erin feels some attraction for Paula and reveals the rest of her secret, but Paula says, it's not much of a secret. Paula helps Erin cope with her trauma by giving her drugs. Paula falls completely in love with Erin and says that love has transformed her and she repents her past misdeeds. She claims that Erin, who is now in love with her, has redeemed her by her love. Paula is a very unusual psychiatrist.

The Writer: Peter Gartner

I wrote a few screenplays a while back, but now I have a place to submit them. At the moment I am painting in watermixable oils and have a gallery at FineArtAmerica. I am concentrating on art now, but if there is some interest in my screenplays, I could submit more. I start with "The Lightship". I have now posted some more. I want to create original scenarios with surprises for the audience. I do not want my scripts to be predictable. The unusual is always best. A script should be a journey. You don't know the destination, but you will enjoy the journey getting there. I like to explore the psychology of my characters, to give the story more depth. Also, there is now a link to my paintings… Go to bio
