Last Chance, The
- Synopsis
- Henderson Hospital in Surrey is a mental hospital where patients must make their own rules for social behaviour and face the consequences when these rules are broken. As children the patients have failed to learn such rules, which often results in aggression. Some have spent much of their lives in prison, others have taken repeated overdoses, many have drifted in and out of psychiatric hospitals and see Henderson Hospital as their last chance.*
