a fire that killed his four-year-old sister and today, at 27, the fear clings to
him like a blanket. But, Dr. Adam Pike (Jeffrey Demunn) has hope for a
cure. He has diagnosed Bernard's condition and believes that if he can
isolate the part of the brain responsible for fear, the amyglada, he can

knows that if he is to be truly cured, he must go back to the day when the
