The Dark Past background

The Dark Past

A deranged murderer seizes a group of innocent people, including the family and neighbors of a police psychologist, and shares a recurring nightmare with the doctor.

A detective dismisses Dr. Andrew Collins' suggestion to evaluate an 18-year-old criminal's mental state, prompting the psychiatrist to recount his experience with Al Walker, a violent offender who killed a prison warden during an escape.
