The story revolves around the psychological and philosophical explorations of the human mind through the lens of psychiatry and emerging technology, particularly the idea of using an "empathy surrogate" to cure severe mental disorders. The plot centers on Dr. Robert Bruno, a psychiatrist who conducts a groundbreaking experiment to treat a manic-depressive patient, Gregson, by temporarily merging with his consciousness. As Bruno undertakes this risky venture, he grapples with the nature of reality and sanity, finding himself in a surreal dream-like state that challenges his perception of existence. As he witnesses bizarre transformations and experiences disorienting visions, he confronts deep-seated fears of losing control over his mind. The story builds tension as Bruno strives to ascertain whether he is truly awake or trapped in a hallucinatory spiral, ultimately revealing themes of individualism, the fragility of sanity, and the complexities of the human psyche.
