Isolde, a young caseworker in a low-income neighbourhood of Toronto, trains for her job: helping people in need while following protocols. When she takes on the case of Eric, a man held in custody for a small crime, Isolde begins to navigate the mental health legal system and witnesses his court hearing. As she gets closer to him, her sympathy for Eric develops but she struggles to make a connection.
