Plot

The Eleventh Hour was about psychiatry, both as it helped individuals deal with their problems and as it helped law enforcement agencies. The first season focused on psychiatrists Theodore Bassett and Paul Graham as they worked with people. The show's title related to "patients who came to them 'in the eleventh hour' — on the verge of breakdown".[2] In addition to Bassett's clinical practice, he advised the police department and the state's department of correction. Many episodes had him evaluating people charged with crimes with regard to their mental competency.[2]

In the second season, Bassett was replaced by L. Richard Starke, and he and Graham became more directly involved in cases.[2]
