Every session was exactly fifty minutes. What happened inside them was never really about healing.
When Buckhead therapist Andrea Markham is found murdered behind her own desk, Detective Frank Reyes finds a locked filing cabinet with only four active files inside - Joseph Brighton, a finance executive one incident away from ruin. Heather Franklin, newly widowed and quietly drowning. Petey Susskind, fighting to stay clean. And Alexandria Scott, still carrying the wound of a mother who left.
Four people who trusted Andrea with everything. Four people who had no idea what she was really doing with it.
As Reyes and his partner dig into a life built on a name that wasn't hers, Alexandria starts asking her own questions - and finds a private record of exactly how carefully, and how patiently, her therapist had been building something none of her patients ever consented to. The investigation closes. The truth doesn't.
Fifty Minutes is a psychological thriller about the room where people go to be honest, and what happens when the person listening isn't.
