A psychiatrist, Martin Dysart, is called to investigate the horrific blinding of six horses with a metal spike in a Hampshire stable. The crime was committed by Alan Strang, an unassuming seventeen‑year‑old stable‑boy, the only son of a domineering yet timid father and a genteel, devout mother. As Dysart delves into Alan’s psyche, he confronts the boy’s deep‑seated demons and, in the process, is forced to examine his own suppressed doubts and the limits of his profession.
