Inside a quiet government building in Chicago exists a department most people believe is a rumor. The Department of Questionable Minds studies the strangest mystery of all: human behavior. When psychologist Daniel Mercer reluctantly joins the team, he expects paperwork, boring case files, and awkward staff meetings. Instead he finds a group of brilliant and slightly unhinged experts who treat the human mind like an unsolved crime scene.
Every day brings a new case. A man who laughs whenever he lies. A woman who insists she remembers a future that has not happened yet. A motivational speaker who might secretly believe his own lies. As Daniel studies their minds, he begins to notice something unsettling. The department may not just be observing people. It might be quietly experimenting on them.
Daniel is forced to confront an even stranger possibility. In a world where sanity is negotiable, the truth may be the funniest and most terrifying discovery of all.
