Helen, a pastor, is approached by scientist Lisbeth with a desperate plea for help. A young man was sent to a high-security psychiatric ward after killing an elderly couple that tried to help him, and attempted suicide while rambling about God. Two year later, after taking part in an experiment led by Lisbeth to try and humanize inmates by assigning them pets, and having seemingly improved, the young man has suddenly gone ballistic. Afraid that he will attempt suicide again, the two women begin a journey into his mind and soul in an attempt to save him.

"There are stories that show up at the strangest time. Stories which you cannot shake off and keep returning to. Stories which are so fiercely attractive that they are constantly present in your consciousness - like the story about a young murderer." [Søren Kragh-Jacobsen]
