Journey through the life of an American doctor who leaves his country and returns thirty years later, only to find himself in a world vastly different from what he left behind. After stumbling upon a small town and practicing the art of medicine in isolation, our doctor is drawn back into society by a ship that takes him to New York. Upon arrival, he finds that the medical profession has been transformed, with doctors now functioning under rigid guidelines. Encountering the "Medical Union," a collective that dictates doctors' conduct, our doctor must reconcile his outdated medical philosophy with the harsh realities and restrictions of modern medicine. Guided by a complex cast of ambitious riding delegates, will he find his place within these new confines? This absorbing account invites meditation on the virtues of loyalty, obedience, and dissent.
