Taglines: Your dreams will never be the same. The Sender movie storyline. A young man (Zeljko Ivanek, in his motion-picture debut) is admitted to a state mental hospital after he attempts suicide at a public beach by filling the pockets of his clothes with rocks and walking into the water in hopes that he will drown. As he shows no signs of being able to remember even his own name, the doctors call him John Doe #83. Soon after his arrival, Dr. Gail Farmer (Kathryn Harrold) is assigned to him.
