喬納斯·海德布林克是一位成功人士。在30歲之前，他已經將創業公司變現；他再也不必工作了。但海德布林克的狀況卻很糟糕。於是，在一個寒冷的一月，他朝東方出發，來到梅克倫堡的荒野，這裡有一座矗立在沼澤中的城堡般的建築：療養院。這裡的一切都顯得相當豪華，但實際上是一家專為有各種問題的人設立的診所。海德布林克迅速陷入繁忙的巡診和治療中，他必須決定是在餐廳裡繼續他的厭世情緒，還是試圖與他人建立聯繫。這裡的醫生、護士和病人對他來說都是陌生的，但不久他們便成為了他的世界。

然而，這家診所的經濟狀況似乎並不理想。一處附樓被關閉，員工數量減少，甚至有傳言說廚房只用微波爐加熱速食。在嚴格的日常規律和古怪病人的包圍中，喬納斯·海德布林克面臨著在孤立與聯繫之間的選擇。隨著診所問題的加劇，以及來自他過去的一次造訪引發神秘事故，這個故事巧妙結合了犀利的幽默與扣人心弦的懸疑，讓你從頭到尾都無法釋手。
