Storia
Allan (John Pankow), now quadriplegic after an accident, finds hope again when he's given Ella, a trained monkey to help him with daily activities. Initially beneficial, Ella begins displaying unexpected behavior and aggression as she starts picking up on Allan's underlying rage and frustration. This leads her to harm those who get too close to Allan or threaten him, including his therapist Dr. Susan.mongodb (Janine Turner) and his friend George (Stanley DeSantis).
