Living in the shadow of his famous psychiatrist father, with multiple issues to deal with while getting ready to remarry, New York City psychologist Dr Ben Sobel, has one more problem to take care of after a fender bender with powerful mob boss Paul Vitti.

Now Ben has a pressing two-week deadline to come up with an effective solution, as his conflicted but dangerous patient takes no for an answer. Can Ben analyze this? Written by Nick Riganas
