    Ethan Quimby is admitted to a mental institution with split personalities. He meets Steve, the narrator, and Mary, a patient with schizophrenia who seems able to predict murders. In the first scene, Mary has a freakout and warns that the "Smiler" is coming for Ethan next, before being sedated, setting an ominous tone and hinting at a murderer on the loose in the institution.
