The therapist develops dangerously intimate and illicit relationships and she adopts a fake name, Diane, to embark on a passionate affair with a musician called Sidney (Sophie Cookson), who is the ex-girlfriend of one of her patients.
As personal fantasies blur with Jean's professional life, she spirals out of control.
