Richard Dreyfuss plays Jake, a former child psychiatrist turned therapist who is called upon to probe the child's mind in order to solve the case. The psychological drama is provided by the fact that not even Jake can entice Tim to communicate about what he has or has not seen regarding the crime. Tim's sister, Sylvie, is protective of him.
