Country of Origin
Lily deVries suffers from DID, a psychiatric condition known as dissociative identify disorder. Triggered by a devastating childhood trauma, her mind has fragmented into different personalities known as 'alters'. There's the gentle, child-like Lily, the sexually aggressive Lilah and Lilith - the violent psychopath. Now she's found herself in the Reed-Chase mental institution where they're hoping to find a cure.
But there's another patient undergoing treatment at the Institute. Fellow DID sufferer Ulysses Maxwell faces life imprisonment for the rape and murder of more than a dozen women. When Lilith and Max (Maxwell's psychopathic alter) meet, the reaction is dynamite.
