Hypochondriac Gambler, A tale of Hermes

Psychiatrist Kate Lamont, in search of relief from the pain and anxiety induced by a severe psychosomatic disorder, falls victim to an all-consuming gambling addiction.
Kate is haunted by the tortured ghost of her fiance, Mark; although a witness, she remembers nothing of the accident in which he died. Grief triggers severe headaches which she attributes to a brain tumour but her doctors insist have causes hidden in her unconscious. She struggles to accept this diagnosis and finds solace in casual gambling.
At work, a referral turns out to concern the man who abandoned her twenty years before. Against her better judgement, she arranges a consultation which ends in personal humiliation. In inescapable reaction, she gambles and has a massive win. Addiction speedily takes hold.
Recovered memory of Mark’s fatal accident reveals a long-buried secret which threatens her sanity. Can timely intervention by Hermes prevent her irrecoverable descent into madness and release her from the past?
