Description Albert Southwick, played by Jacob Rajan, is a dentist with a gift for easing others' pain - but not his own. Albert's long-neglected passions are inflamed by a delicate operation on a young woman. In the process of straightening out her teeth will Albert straighten out his own life? To complicate matters Albert is haunted by the ghost of William Kemmler, the first person to be executed by the electric chair - and who is encouraging him to make a rather personal extraction.
