Mind Games

“An unsettled therapist individually counsels both members of a troubled couple, becoming dangerously entangled in their relationship, to the point of her complete family uprooting.”

Mind Games began with a question: what happens when someone trained to understand others loses all understanding of herself? The slow-burning fuse and emotional center of Mind Games is our protagonist, therapist Jules Abrams. Jules finds herself enmeshed in the lives of two new clients, Ava and Zander, whose relationship appears more lively, erratic, and vibrant than her own. Although their sessions start off professionally, she begins to subtly and dangerously insert herself.
