- Summary
- The Salpêtrière Asylum: Paris, 1885, Dr. Charcot holds all of Paris in thrall with his displays of hypnotism on women who have been deemed mad and cast out from society. Geneviève is a senior nurse, who places her faith in both the celebrated psychiatrist Dr. Charcot and science. But everything begins to change when she meets Eugénie, the nineteen-year-old daughter locked away in the asylum for seeing spirits, and she needs Geneviève's help to escape.
