Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A jaded psychiatrist takes on a pro bono case that puts his professionalism to the ultimate test in director Jonas Pate's knowing exposé of the "other" Hollywood. Between sorting through the insecurities of a fading film starlet (Saffron Burrows), a struggling writer (Mark Webber), and an obsessive-compulsive talent agent (Dallas Roberts), A-list psychiatrist Henry Carter (Kevin Spacey) barely has the time to deal with his own problems. Suddenly, into the middle of Henry's malaise wanders a troubled teen who's never even set foot in the Hollywood Hills. This is Henry's first pro bono client, and considering his current state, he's not sure that now is the best time to be taking on more work. While Henry is jaded by Hollywood, his newest patient is obsessed with it. Faced with the challenge of helping a young girl through a particularly difficult time in her life, Henry does his best to remain professional despite harboring some rather serious misgivings during their first few sessions. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Henry Carter is L.A.'s top celebrity psychiatrist with an A-list clientele, including a famous actress, an insecure young writer, an obsessive-compulsive super-agent. Henry is not in a good place, however. Disillusioned with both his career and personal life, Henry's only hope of salvation could come from his first pro bono case, a troubled teenager from a neighborhood far from the Hollywood Hills. Considering his present state of mind, Henry may not be ready for the real-life problems of someone who lives so far from his own neighborhood.
