Doctor Faust, a well-know doctor specialising in terminal medicine, is immersed in a deep depression. While attending a conference being held in another city, he runs into Santos, a former patient of his. Eight years earlier, Faust had given him just a few months to live. Santos will become Faust's Dreammaker, and together they set off on a life or death journey within the entrails of a city where the buildings are suffering from a strange viral illness. Faust will have to struggle against death and destruction, against his own desires, against Santos and himself.
