These pressures eventually lead to a mental breakdown that has a lasting impact on his life.
Fast forward to the 1980s, and Brian is barely functioning under the control of the manipulative Dr. Landy. However, his life takes a turn when he meets and falls in love with Melinda Ledbetter. As their relationship deepens, Melinda becomes increasingly concerned about Brian's subservience to the abusive therapist.

Love & Mercy is a captivating biographical drama that delves into the complexities of mental health, abusive relationships, and the power of love to overcome adversity. It is a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the importance of standing up for what is right.
