Marvin, a 13 year old boy, is delivered by his parents, to a facility that specializes in childrens' problems. Marvin is not aware that he has a condition that needs to be addressed, but he goes along with the program because he has no other choice. While there in Unit 3, he encounters other young people like himself and begins to develop warm feelings and form friendships with them. He also must contend with a creepy doctor who provides dubious support, nurses who show only marginal compassion for the children in their care, and an orderly who is corrupt and sinister. Unit 11 is purported to be the treatment mecc at the facility and the children yearn to go there. However, as the young patients are promoted to Unit 11, one by one, Marvin overhears disturbing gossip amongst the staff. He and the other children begin to have doubts about Unit 11 and whether that really is the place for them.
