A young psychotherapist desperately tries to regain control over his life after a breakup and an unfortunate incident that could prematurely end his promising career. The therapeutic techniques he has mastered over the years fail him, just like his attempt to "clear his mind" by completing a climbing route. Meanwhile, a loud renovation next door shatters his already exhausted thoughts, and a new, unusual patient begins the final act of destroying his psyche...
