Welcome to Princess Margaret Private Hospital, the only private stand-alone psychiatric teaching hospital in the state. Located on a 10-hectare (25-acre) site, this hospital has 178 beds and 320 nurses on staff. Princess Margaret is a full accredited psychiatric teaching hospital and has research and education facilities located on the campus. It is used as a major training facility for medical, nursing and other health professionals specialising in mental health.
As a part of its research, Princess Margaret is the only psychiatric hospital which has its own online experience. Each patient is given a monitored laptop which has extremely limited access to the internet. One site which they are encouraged to use is an online chat messenger and forum which is moderated by nurses and doctors, so patients can interact with other patients within the hospital.
For a group of young adults, they’ve created a lonely hearts club. None of them have met before physically, but have decided to meet up within the hospital after speaking to each other for over two weeks. Once they meet up, they discover that each of them have been told they have various number of days remaining of their time within the facility. Although, it’s always subject to change and sometimes it can last longer. At this realisation, the group decide to make a pact together – that come the end of the year, if they’re not released at the same time as promised, they will end their lives together.
Throughout their remaining days, their bond to one and another grows and they become reliant on each other. When thirty days is over, and if they find out they're not being released, will they end their lives? Or will their friendship (or something more?) cause them to reflect on their choices in life and keep on moving forward?
