Give a short narration of the plot of the story.

The Unsaid is a 2001 American thriller/drama film directed by Tom McLoughlin and starring Andy García that

was released in 2001. The film follows Michael Hunter's (García) struggle to cope with his son's suicide and his
attempt to rehabilitate Thomas Caffey (Vincent Kartheiser), who reminds him of his own son.
A seemingly-untroubled adolescent carries disturbing secrets that compel a psychiatrist to unearth the patient's
gruesome past."
Psychiatrist Michael Hunter and his wife are watching their daughter Shelly's school play. Their son Kyle, who
is suffering from depression, stays at home, because he can not stand being among people as he says. While the
parents are applauding Shelly, Kyle commits suicide in family's garage.
Several years later the family has fallen apart because of their loss. Michael retreats, writes books, holds
speeches for University students, but he no longer treats patients. When his former student, Barbara Wagner,
approaches him asking for help with a case he initially refuses, but then gives in to taking over the case of 17-
year-old Thomas "Tommy" Caffey, who witnessed his father murder his mother. It is Michael's job to decide if
the teenager can leave the psychiatric facility when he turns 18. But while working with Tommy, Michael
realizes how much the boy reminds him of his own son Kyle and feelings of guilt arise in the psychologist.
In flashbacks and conversations, the viewer receives background information of Kyle's suicide. Michael had his
son see a therapist—an old university friend named Harry Quinlan—instead of taking medication. In his son's
suicide letter, Michael finds out that Kyle was sexually abused by Quinlan. When Michael tries to confront
Quinlan, the therapist won't unlock the front door. Michael goes to the glass back door, through which he sees
Quinlan pull a gun out of a drawer. As Quinlan places the barrel in his mouth, Michael angrily yells at him to
shoot himself, which the therapist does.
Tommy kills Chloe, a girl on ecstasy, at a party because she forced him to have sex. At the same party, Tommy
befriends Shelly and they become closer. Shelly tells Tommy about Kyle. From then on, Tommy uses the
information in therapy sessions and manipulates Michael, who more and more sees his own son in him.
When Michael visits Tommy's father in prison he finds out that Tommy's mother misused her son as a lover and
slept with him regularly. This is why his father, who came home early one day, bludgeoned her to death, and
why Tommy severely injures/kills women who try to have physical contact with him ,Tommy tries to make
Barbara release him to an independent life. When she refuses and touches him, he pushes her through a glass
window. After she crawls to a telephone and attempts to call police, Tommy beats her with the handset. He flees
in a stolen car and, armed with a weapon, picks up Shelly from her mother's house and speeds away. Michael
finds the severely wounded Barbara in her apartment. As she is being treated, Barbara warns Michael about
Tommy's plan. Michael races to his ex-wife's house, narrowly missing the boy, whom he chases. The boy's
flight comes to an end near train tracks, where he holds Shelly at gunpoint. Michael confronts Tommy with
what his mother did and Tommy surrenders the girl and the gun
