SERIES OVERVIEW

Set in a hospital in the spectacular Blue Mountains outside Sydney, WAKEFIELD tackles the taboo subject of mental illness head on. It does so through an ensemble of unique characters each with their own story. At its centre is a psychological mystery: Nik Katira (Rudi Dharmalingam), a gifted psychiatric nurse, is the most stable person in what tends to be a pretty crazy place. But right now his grip on his own sanity is slipping. The question is…why? 

The series also features Mandy McElhinney, Geraldine Hakewill, Ryan Corr, Harriet Dyer and Wayne Blair.
