When an unforgettable and disturbing dream resonates in his mind and heart, the case he accepts?representing a hospital being sued after it declines to offer abortion services?begins to consume his life. The courtroom drama unfolds parallel to this strange dreamscape, where humans are subject to quality control, property rights, and cruelty.
