In the 19th century, a young doctor named Edward Newgate seeks a new job at an isolated and mysterious psychiatric hospital in the English countryside. Upon his arrival, he encounters an unsettling environment where the patients, seemingly happy, coexist with the caregivers in a strange balance that defies the norms of psychiatry of the time. However, what appears to be an idyllic refuge soon reveals dark secrets.
As Edward delves deeper into the life of the asylum, he begins to forge a special connection with a beautiful patient named Eliza, who has been confined against her will. While trying to unravel the mystery surrounding this enigmatic woman and the dynamics of the place, Edward discovers that the roles between doctors and patients are not what they seem.

In a plot filled with unexpected twists, madness, love, and the struggle for freedom intertwine in a tale that challenges conventions and explores the limits of sanity in one of the darkest corners of the human soul.
