"Thirty seconds after you're born you have a past and sixty seconds after that you begin to lie to yourself about it."
Nola Carveth (Samantha Eggar) is under the care of unconventional psychologist Dr. Hal Raglan (Oliver Reed). When the daughter returns home from a visit with her mother covered in bruises, the father (Art Hindle) attempts to stop his wife from seeing the girl. Meanwhile, Nola's parents start being attacked by weirdly deformed children...Her husband starts to suspect there may be a connection with the psychologist's methods.
