Notorious Brooklyn is a hospital for people with a clouded mind. Within its walls, the head physician Crawford conducts terrible experiments, which he calls "peculiar methods of treatment." Sixteen-year-old Ricky Desmond gets here, and now he too will be "treated." He will become Patient Zero. Ricky explains that this is a privilege, and assures that Crawford's research will make his life extraordinary and vibrant. Having accidentally familiarized himself with the Brooklyn archive, the young man realizes that becoming Patient Zero means losing himself. He must run to save himself. Otherwise, something much more terrible awaits him than death. Something from which there is no salvation. Nowhere. Ad Kalendas Graecas.
