Treatment

Patrick is a detective. He was recently involved in an accident and has only just recovered and although he has been told that it is too soon to return to work he insisted to return straight away. While at work he finds work stressful and begins to have nightmares whereby a man is standing over a dead girl's body. Consequently, the case they are working on seems very similar to his dreams and as the days go by the dreams become more vivid and slightly altered-the face of the man standing over the body becomes more like his. When all clues appear to lead to him he begins to doubt his innocence and decides to turn himself in. However, just before he does, two other murders occur. Through examining all the murders more closely he discovers that all the murders are linked somehow and also link to his accident. It turns out that he was close by whent the crime took place-in the wrong place at the wrong time scenario. He was also up to no good...buying drugs. When he comes in contact with the killer, the killer threatens him-if you tell on me i will tell on you and then kill everyone who is close to you. So Patrick doesn't tell. The killer is not real Patrick is a schizopherinic and he is in fact the killer, the dead girl was his daughter who he killed, and the girl on the swing in his dreams reflects his mental state of mind-he still believes she is alive.
