"Nurse Gretchen Randall has lived in an almost catatonic state for most of her adult life, not knowing how she became a patient at the Dove Foundation, a rehabilitation treatment center somewhere in Georgia. She walks the grounds of the center, hoping that her memory will return. While she waits, strange dreams haunt her in which patients leap to their death from the roof above the fourth floor of the residential building. Gretchen is skeptical of the blue pills given to every patient and the zombie-state it causes. More alarming are the wails of children coming from somewhere below the basement. She desperately tries to analyze what is reality and what is fiction as bits of her own sordid past return to her. Her obsession to discover the truth grows with the help of several patients and two cherubic ghosts that haunt Dove. Once the story unravels, Gretchen wonders if the truth should have been left buried in the rubble that was once her mind."
