Rebecca Stark es una brillante psiquiatra de Londres que ha desarrollado un innovador sistema para sanar a los pacientes de sus obsesiones. El método Stark es tan efectivo que uno de sus pacientes, el magnate ruso Grigory Ivanov, decide confiar a Rebecca la gestión de Sunrise, la primera de una serie de clínicas de vanguardia dispersas por todo el mundo que ayudan a las personas a curarse de cualquier adicción. Después de una campaña publicitaria que da la vuelta al planeta, se abre el primer centro en Italia, en Puglia, dentro de una antigua casa de campo restaurada, rodeada de campos y olivos. Un lugar perfecto para recibir pacientes que, como parte integral del tratamiento, tendrán que trabajar, cocinar y dedicarse a otras tareas domésticas, viviendo pues en una comunidad aislada, con plena privacidad. De entre los cientos de solicitudes que llegan para entrar en Sunrise, son seleccionados siete candidatos de diferentes países: Lena Weber, obsesionada con la perfección física; Jian Chow, diseñador web y hacker voyeur; Rosa Bernasconi, una chica adicta a la tecnología; Claudio Carrara, jugador compulsivo; Julie Arnaud, ninfómana; Tim Parker, comerciante adicto a la cocaína; y finalmente Jessica De Groot. Al principio de la terapia todo parece ir de la mejor manera posible, pero pronto algunos pacientes desaparecen misteriosamente. Así que empiezan a separar a los pacientes, vigilándoles en todo momento para que no escapen y evitando cualquier contacto con el exterior, dando lugar a un macabro juego que acabará con un desenlace sorprendente.
