The Dark Past background

The Dark Past

A deranged murderer takes a police psychologist's family and neighbors hostage, while revealing a recurring nightmare to the doctor, blurring the lines between reality and terror.

A detective dismisses the idea of referring an 18-year-old criminal for psychiatric evaluation, prompting Dr. Andrew Collins to recount his encounter with Al Walker, a violent offender who had a history of violence and killed a prison warden during an escape. Walker and his gang took the Collins family and friends hostage, but Dr. Collins saw an opportunity to help Walker by deciphering a recurring dream that may hold the key to understanding his motivations for a life of crime and violence.
