Ross plays Paulie Cooper, a former med student who loses 18 years of her life due to a bout with schizophrenia. After being released from a mental ward, she seeks to better herself in a world that has pretty much shunned her.

The movie was a triumphant for Ross as it was one of the first films that seriously dealt with schizophrenia. The film garnered Ross a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a TV Movie.
