In the second half of the 19th century a city is stricken by a mysterious plague. The effect that this epidemic has on the City’s hospital and in particular the people who work there is life changing – especially for two of the hospital’s lowliest employees. The friendship of one poor man shown to his mentally tormented co-worker reveals how he came to be in such anguish and to such a humble position in life. Can friendship redeem his life or is he doomed to live his isolated existence for ever?
