Jane has been locked up in a high security hospital for killing her children. Well meaning intervention by Dr. Townsend begins to uncover early events in Jane's life. While attending her sister's funeral, Jane escapes and goes back to the Belgian caravan site where the murders took place. She connects in a real way with her past, is brought back to the hospital but being fully aware of her own actions now, feels she cannot go on living.

Losing It gives an authentic voice to a woman alienated by her madness and by the crimes she has committed. It allows us to enter her internal world, and we are drawn ever more closely into a conflict between sanity and madness, life or death. As the action moves from the secure hospital where she is confined, to the deserted Belgian caravan site where she killed her children, Juliette and Christoph, her internal world changes as she connects with her past, and wounds open that the well-meaning psychiatrist Dr. Bruce can’t heal. The staff can only be with her while the story unravels, providing her with the only real love she has ever known. This is a story about redemption and compassion in a dangerous, uncaring and insane world.
