Inspired by the life and work of Richard Montague, a brilliant and controversial Professor of Philosophy at UCLA who was found strangled on the bathroom floor of his home in Beverly Hills on 7th March 1971.

Jay Hamilton lives a comfortable life in fashionable west London, listening to the minor and major dysfunctions of the over-privileged clients who frequent his psychoanalytical practice. But the darker recesses of his own psyche would not stand up to close examination: his brother Richard, a genius professor of mathematical linguistics, was apparently killed by rent boys in Los Angeles and Jay was the first on the scene.

Author Dana Flynn is determined to scratch beneath the surface while researching a biography she intends to write about Richard, and finds that Jay's professional life is as precarious as his personal relationships - he uses his clients' case studies as material for his fiction writing.

Such is Jay's hunger for recognition as a creative force that he exploits the vulnerable people he counsels, and a decision is not to intervene when a troubled patient steals a baby, causes his past to unravel.
