简介：In a complex tale of interweaving relationships, a Greek immigrant in London explores the meaning of what it is to love and heal. Poised follows the story of Aris, a gay Occupational Therapist who carries the weight of a previous relationship gone wrong. Yet, a chance encounter with Richard seems to allow him the chance to love again. As Aris' relationship with Richard deepens, so too does his friendship with Anna, a patient in his care who suffers from a rare neurological syndrome that leaves her paralysed. Anna recovers the use of her limbs, but finds that she has come to rely on Aris for much more than just his support. In fact, her discovery that her husband has been unfaithful during her illness triggers the realisation that her feelings for Aris are romantic. The ties that bind emotion and propriety begin to unravel, and the tangled net that is woven will hold a secret that will catch them all.

简介：GraceBurnham是纽约的一名医生，1890年代，她去到哥伦比亚一处偏僻的种植园，试着治疗一个精神有问题的男孩。这个孩子看似有着无法解释的能力，或许杀死了自己的母亲。而Burnham的介入引起了村子里宗教人士的反对，他们认为男孩是被邪灵附体，是当地遭受的痛苦、麻烦的根源。在那个宗教狂热盛行、精神医学被当做戏法的年代，当地人完全看不起一个携科学知识前来的外地女性。
