However, his teenage daughter, Catherine, refuses to believe this and enlists the help of a former patient, journalist Alex Stedman, to investigate further.

This society is made up of wealthy and influential individuals who use their power to manipulate world events and maintain their own control.

Overall, The Third Secret offers a thought-provoking exploration of power and control, and the lengths some will go to maintain them. The performances from the cast are strong, particularly Stephen Boyd as the enigmatic Dr. Whitset, and the film's pacing keeps the audience engaged throughout.
