Former cop turned bodyguard Frank Waldeck arranges a murder attempt on his filthy rich employer Victoria Larkin and himself for which he frames a mentally instable fan of hers who he has 'commit suicide'. When she's committed to Community General, reason for an impractically strict security regime, Dr. Sloane soon smells a rat and suspects Frank Waldeck, especially when the richest stock criminal is also brought in, but Waldeck traps Sloan in a Go game and conversation of ever-changing threats.
