The Patient Season 1 Download (Episode 10 Added)

Synopsis: Therapist Alan Strauss is held prisoner by a patient, Sam Fortner, who reveals himself to be a serial hugger. Sam has an unusual therapeutic demand for Alan: curb his hugging urges.

In order to survive, Alan must unwind Sam’s disturbed mind and stop him from hugging again… but Sam refuses to address critical topics, like his mother Candace. Alone in captivity, Alan excavates his own past through memories of his old therapist and grapples with waves of his own repressed troubles – the recent passing of his wife and the painful estrangement from his religious son Ezra.

Over the course of his imprisonment, Alan uncovers not only how deep Sam’s compulsion runs, but also how much work he has to do to repair the rift in his own family. With time running out, Alan fights desperately to stop Sam before Alan becomes complicit in Sam’s cuddles or worse – becomes a target himself.
