Alicia Berenson appears to live a perfect life: a celebrated painter married to a successful fashion photographer, residing in a grand London house overlooking a park. One night, when her husband Gabriel returns home late, Alicia shoots him five times in the face—and then never speaks again. Her silence transforms a domestic crime into a national obsession, driving up the value of her art and turning her into a notorious figure. Confined to the Grove, a secure forensic unit in North London, Alicia becomes known as the “silent patient.” Criminal psychotherapist Theo Faber has long waited for the chance to treat her, convinced he can uncover the truth behind her silence. But as he pushes deeper into Alicia’s past, his search for answers leads him down a dark, twisting path that forces him to confront his own hidden motives and threatens to consume him entirely.
