Prisoner Leo Keller faces solitary confinement after assaulting Dr. Gray. The warden revokes his privileges and denies his appeal, cutting him off from his lawyer. Dr. Gray, the very doctor he attacked, intervenes, citing regulations to take him under 'medical supervision' as her orderly. She declares him her property and warns others not to touch him. Leo confronts her about her motives, accusing her of a 'sick need for control,' but she claims she's protecting him. He is now bound to report directly to her, trapped in a tense new arrangement with a woman he deeply distrusts.
