Introduction
Commander Riker is performing the lead in Doctor Crusher's latest production aboard the Enterprise. Called "Frame of Mind," it's a pyschological thriller about an inmate in an insane asylum. As the play is nearing its opening, Riker is assigned to a dangerous rescue mission. While preparing for both the play and mission, aspects of the one seem to sneak into the other. Initially, he dismisses it as stress, but suddenly he finds himself in the apparently real asylum of the play, while his life aboard the Enterprise is deemed a fictional delusion. Nothing makes sense, and Riker begins to question his own sanity. What's real? What's not? Can he tell the difference any more?
Caught in a Trek-themed fantasy world. We can relate, Frakesy.
