Overview
Emma is certain she's happy. She has a successful career, a loving boyfriend, wonderful parents, and is talented, funny, and smart. Until she unexpectedly and 'voluntarily' ends up in the psychiatric ward of a hospital. A short circuit? A burnout? She thinks this must be a huge mistake. Because she's a perfectly normal person. Right?
