Give Me A Reason

Dr. Sterling Pierre Morris II, a prominent Detroit Psychiatrist, is contentedly serving his clients when he is suddenly offered a six-month assignment at I.C.C., a secret organization, nearly twenty-four hundred miles from home. Meanwhile, Dr. Morris had reservations about accepting the assignment because this friend had a tendency of volunteering him for assignments in the past that jeopardized his psychiatric license. However, the attractive offer, including generous benefits and the idea of awakening to the California sun, instead of enduring another bitterly cold Michigan winter, made the assignment difficult to refuse. So, without much hesitation, Dr. Morris convinces himself to accept the offer. After all, if he can survive in Detroit, he can survive anywhere.

After arriving in sunny California, Dr. Morris soon discovers this assignment is starkly different from anything he ever encountered in Detroit. He immediately began to remember that "all money, wasn't good money." The cases are unsettling. The stakes are high. Each client's reality is more disturbing than the last.

Then there is Mr. Troy Shields, a client whose personal tragedies mirror Dr. Morris' own experiences and feel like a scripted version of his past. This is when Dr. Morris had a premonition that his life would never be the same. He was now convinced that his friend may have intentionally withheld vital information about I.C.C. and he may have signed the contract in haste.

With only six months to complete the assignment, Dr. Morris is faced with tormenting thoughts: why was he chosen and what is the real reason he is here?
