Lena lives in a world where love is considered a disease - the deliria - the source of all unhappiness and negative emotions, including anger, pain, jealously and hate. Scientists have found a cure for love, and the controlling government seeks to eradicate the deliria by forcing all citizens to be cured at age 18. But even those fully indoctrinated with the government's propaganda are in danger of catching the disease before they are cured, and Lena does the unthinkable and falls in love.

Seeing the society she's always believed in through new eyes, Lena is set on a dangerous course, both for her heart and her life.
