Summary:

This absorbing series interweaves real-life experience with dramatic reconstruction as doctors, scientists and sufferers attempt to understand the roots of obsession. Obsessions can be inherited; they can even be caught. And millions of people worldwide are overpowered by them. At times of stress, Caroline obsessively pulls out the hair on her head, as well as most of her eyelashes and eyebrows. Cat Man's body is covered in stripes, his ears have been pointed, his lip cut, his nose fattened, whiskers implanted and his teeth pointed ... all to make himself look more like a cat. Where will his obsession with his identity end?
