Summary
Questionably diagnosed with Borderline Personality disorder, Susanna (Wynona Ryder) rebels against the head nurse (Whoopi Goldberg), choosing to instead befriend the resident "loonies" - a group of troubled women including the seductively charismatic sociopath Lisa (Angelina Jolie). But Susanna quickly learns if she wants her freedom, she'll have to face the person who terrifies her most of all: herself.
