On the surface, St. Maria Mental Hospital is a modern convalescent facility. In truth, it is a nest that houses and incubates "cognitive contamination." An intangible, invisible "chaotic logic" takes physical form here, twisting reality and forcing living beings to obey rules that contradict one another. Following the rules may cause you to become alienated; breaking them will get you "corrected," turned into a specimen or a monster.
Protagonist: Lin Yue, an investigative reporter, is tough and perceptive. To save her younger sister, Lin Wei, who mysteriously "checked in" after reporting on the hospital's dark secrets, she ventures deep into the tiger's den.
