Set in a high security juvenile detention centre. Dr Ian Wallace, a psychotherapist with a tragedy in his past, is given the assignment of evaluating seventeen year old Troy Anderson prior to sentencing. Anderson has pleaded guilty to a violent and shocking crime, so horrific in nature that it has caught the attention of the nation. But despite the plea, the street smart and rage-filled Troy is adamant of his innocence. It is up to Wallace to solve the mystery and then make a recommendation about Troy’s future but in so doing the doctor is forced to face aspects of his own troubled past. Perhaps the answers lie with Stan, Troy’s deceptively simple and caring father. But his answers may have more to do with Dr Wallace than his own son. Part thriller, part psycho drama The Paper Wall explores the ever shifting terrain of the psyche, twisting and turning through dark corners and shared moments of hope.
