Description

Professor Paul Sellner-Smith is an eminent cancer specialist working in a leading London University teaching hospital. But one day his stable working life starts to be threatened by negative forces within his own department. Simultaneously, his previously happy and contented domestic life is disturbed by his increasingly erratic behaviour which both he and his sympathetic wife Jane initially attribute to the severe stress he is dealing with at work. Throughout this very tense period in his life, he manages to uphold the highest possible clinical and scientific standards. But events progress insidiously as his personal life falls apart with one disaster occurring after another. A surprising answer to all his doubts is finally uncovered but the question persists as to what is cause and what is effect.
