Mickey Reichert, a former pediatrician, begins a new science fiction series with I, Robot, to Protect with Dr. Susan Calvin, a recently graduated psychiatrist beginning a new job at a major hospital. Her assignment to the Pediatric Inpatient Psychiatric Unit brings her four children with long-term problems. Starling suffers from dementia, Monterrey hasn't spoken for six years, Diesel is morbidly obese, depressed, and has oppositional-defiant disorder, and Sharicka is a four-year-old demon.
