From the man who thinks he can fly to the woman who killed her husband, the other patients are nothing like him; all he did was lose his temper just a little bit, just once. But when Ricky is selected by the sinister Warden Crawford for a very special program-- a program that the warden claims will not cure him but perfect him-- Ricky realizes that he may not be able to wait for his mom a second longer. With the help of a sympathetic nurse and a fellow patient, Ricky needs to escape now.
