Jenny Isaksson, a psychiatrist working in Stockholm, temporarily moves in with her grandparents while her house is being renovated. One lonely day she goes to a party and meets new interesting people, including fellow doctor Tomas Jacobi.
Jenny goes on a date with Tomas Jacobi. When she returns home, she encounters two men and one of her patients in her house. This encounter will lead to a complete nervous breakdown.
After a botched suicide attempt, Jenny finds herself in the hospital. As she slowly gains consciousness we follow her as she wanders through a surreal landscape of dreams and distorted memories.
Jenny is still drifting between dream and reality while Tomas watches over her in the hospital.
