Dublin is a harsh city, where brutal poverty breeds diseases that the limited medical knowledge of the time is often ill-equipped to handleHis teachers warn Fingal not to become too attached to his patients, but can he truly harden himself to the suffering he sees all around him—or can he find a way to care for his patients without breaking his own heart?
