Dr David Benn, a young Dublin Jew, arrives at Saint Elba's Mental Hospital in Dargle.He's the new locum, and it's 1969, when strange things were actually happening. A time when some challenging ideas were translated into actions. Even in the small, closed Catholic community where a love affair takes its course. "Diseases of locums." David read aloud from the book. "It says here that locums suffer anxiety, a nameless dread, a sense that the world is going to suddenly come to an end". He turned the page. "They envy those with long term security." "Sounds everyday stuff for your average Yid."
