New England, the 1960s. 17-year-old Susanna (Winona Ryder) is diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and admitted to Claymoore psychiatric hospital. There, she resists the authority of psychiatrist Dr. Wick (Vanessa Redgrave) and nurse Valerie (Whoopi Goldberg), instead forming intense bonds with fellow patients—including the rebellious and manipulative Lisa (Angelina Jolie), compulsive liar Georgina (Clea DuVall), and fragile Daisy (Brittany Murphy), who battles an eating disorder. Based on Susanna Kaysen's acclaimed memoir, this powerful drama explores identity, sanity, and the bonds forged in isolation.
