Dr. Nathan Conrad (Douglas), a respected child psychiatrist, is called on by his colleague, Dr. Louis Sachs (Platt), to take on as a patient Elisabeth Burrows (Murphy), a deeply disturbed young woman who stabbed someone unprovoked. Elisabeth doesn't say much except to guess that Dr. Conrad wants "what they want". On Thanksgiving morning, the morning after he sees Elisabeth for the first time, Dr. Conrad's daughter Jessie is kidnapped. Patrick (Bean), the leader of the kidnappers, calls Dr. Conrad and tells him Jessie will die unless he gets Elisabeth to give him a six-digit number that will lead to a stolen diamond.

** The film for the most part displays accurate knowledge of psychiatry. When examining Elisabeth for the first time, she appears catatonic. Dr. Conrad lifts her arm up, and when he lets go, it falls limply back down. Conrad proceeds to explain that actually catatonic patients keep their muscles tensed, not limp, which is accurate.
