On the ward of a hospital psychiatric unit, Alison meets Daniel, who is being held after an attack on his girlfriend. He desperately tries to persuade Alison that the man responsible for the assault was the other Daniel - Daniel Two. Doctors are convinced the young man is a pathologically violent schizophrenic, but Alison has serious doubts.

On the first day of her new job at an old people's home, Alison finds a photo of Robert's dead son Josh, belonging to his mother, Jenny, and realises that Josh steered her towards the job in another attempt to make some kind of emotional contact with his father. Alison befriends fellow nurse Connor, who is being tormented by the ghost of a former patient, who jumped to her death from a window because he wouldn't help her die peacefully.
