When Julie becomes so mentally ill she can no longer cope in society, she is put in a psychiatric hospital with the support of her friends. Once inside the hospital, Julie faces some terrible challenges; her main issue is trusting those in authority.

But the world of a Borderline is never an easy ride, and Julie portrays the tribulations that this diagnosis may cause.
