Whispers in the Dark

In the bustling corridors of Manhattan’s elite mental‑health circles, Ann Hecker runs a well‑established psychiatric practice that has earned her both respect and a steady stream of enigmatic patients. Her own life, however, feels fragmented: a recent breakup leaves her emotionally adrift, while the promise of a new romance with a former Air Force pilot hints at fresh possibilities. The city’s relentless energy mirrors the inner turbulence that begins to surface as the intimate, often unsettling, sexual revelations of her clients start to seep into her thoughts, blurring the boundaries between professional detachment and personal obsession.

Seeking steadiness, Ann reaches out to a pair of former research colleagues, a married couple of seasoned psychologists who once shared her academic pursuits. Their counsel offers a measured, analytical counterpoint to the increasingly vivid and disquieting dreams that haunt her, suggesting that the hidden desires spoken in therapy rooms may be echoing far beyond the office walls. The tone of the film is tight‑knit and atmospheric, steeped in a psychological thriller mood that balances clinical precision with a palpable sense of dread, as the city’s nightscape becomes a backdrop for secrets that refuse to stay buried.

When a tragic event involving one of Ann’s patients thrusts the intertwined lives of her confidants, her love interest, and the shadowed world of her practice into sharper focus, the fragile equilibrium she has tried to maintain begins to crack. Alliances form and old loyalties are tested, forcing Ann to confront the unsettling possibility that the very narratives she has helped untangle may now be turning back on her, pulling her deeper into a labyrinth where professional ethics, personal longing, and looming danger intersect.
