Bernd is an idealistic intern who has signed up to spend a year at Miranda Village, which presented itself in the brochure as a thoughtful alternative care facility. What he finds is a community of technology-averse spiritual practitioners who spend their days in esoteric contemplation and expect the intern to handle all the actual work. Leaving is not possible. The only way out is to work his way into the village's inner leadership circle — which brings him steadily closer to a secret nobody in the village has bothered to mention: every intern who came before him disappeared without explanation, and no one here seems troubled by this.
