The comic follows the story of Barry Ill, a green cat who is an autistic and schizophrenic trans man, and his experience of being admitted to the Sparklecare hospital. Despite its glamorous reputation, the hospital is actually a prison that tortures and kills its patients and drains their families of insurance by the corrupt hospital's owner, Dr. Cuddles. Cuddles is a greedy Capitalist scumbag who cares about nothing but money, and so far, everything is working out for him. Any patients who escape or try to speak out against the hospital aren't believed and are written off as crazy. The story follows Barry's journey into uncovering the truth about why this place really is the way it is, and why nobody's talking about it.

Barry is joined by a unicorn-dog named Uni Cornelius who has been trapped in the hospital for almost a decade. Uni is well-known for his "swaggy" personality, and despite being extremely depressed, is a beacon of light and humor in the grim surroundings of the hospital. He is also accompanied by Caroline Coughs, a devious thief and escape artist, the safety-obsessed botanist Hemera Philly, and the incredibly gifted and lucky Jay Fortune. Barry and his friends work together on a plot to one day finally escape this horrible place, and tell the outside world what's really going on.

But things aren't as easy and hopeful as one would want to believe. They are surrounded by cruel, unloving doctors who want nothing but to make them suffer and keep them tied down. Something deeper seems to boil beneath the surface, but nobody's entirely sure what it is. Surely there's someone out there trying to save them... right?
