Mysterious new asylum nurse Mildred Ratched begins participating in disturbing psyche experiments on patients. Then memories of her own, that she's spent so much energy trying to suppress, begin to surface. Director Ryan Murphy's thrilling dark series was not only inspired by a book (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest by Ken Kesey), but a real-life person as well. Mildred was influenced by a former coworker of the author, after he spent time working in a psychiatric ward.
