DRY ICE

Colorado psychologist Alan Gregory is forced to deal with old secrets and a dangerous former patient. Gregory's life unravels when he becomes the main suspect in a murder case at the same time that his ex-patient, killer Michael McClelland, escapes from the state mental institution. Gregory's wife, a Boulder prosecutor, struggles to perform in a sensitive grand jury case despite her increasing battle with MS. In a strong performance of the main character, Dick Hill portrays Gregory's worry as he wrestles with his many demons--fear of his wife's progressing disease, uncertainty about his deep friendship with a local cop, panic at being tapped for murder, and even questions about his own mental stability.
