Series summary[]

Dr Craig 'Huff' Hufstodt is a Los Angeles psychiatrist who believes that he can and should save everyone around him, but when a 15-year-old patient commits suicide in his office, he finds his world shaken to its core. As he tries to deal with clinical insanity in his office, he also attempts to get a grip on the personal insanity of his home life, including his manipulative mother, Izzy (Blythe Danner); his institutionalised brother Teddy (Andy Corneau); and his morally dubious lawyer and best friend, Russell Tupper (Oliver Platt).
