Sean Clifton savagely attacked a complete stranger in a psychotic frenzy and tried to stab her to death in front of scores of witnesses, because “the devil told him to stab the prettiest girl in the mall.”  Now he is out. His victim is terrified he will come after her.  With unprecedented access to Clifton, the victim and the mental institution, the film follows Clifton through an extraordinary treatment process and back onto the streets -- only to find his victim’s family waiting for him, battling to keep him under the hospitals’ control.
