What Is Disturbed About?

The premise of Disturbed without spoilers.

A once‑respected psychiatrist, Dr. Russell, is haunted by his own monstrous impulses. Ten years earlier he assaulted a young patient, then blamed her suicide on severe depression. Now his new patient, Sandy, awakens the same dark desire, unaware that she is the daughter of his former victim, seeking vengeance for her mother’s fate.
