In the disease-ridden chaos of 14th-century Europe, a hopelessly optimistic and wildly unqualified plague doctor named Dr. Bartholomew Grim arrives in the tiny village of Muckbrim with a suitcase full of garlic, leeches, and unshakable confidence. Declaring himself the town's last hope, Grim dives headfirst into battling the Black Death with remedies that range from bizarre folk dances to questionable enemas, all while insisting it’s “just a seasonal cough.” As villagers drop like flies—and sometimes fake it just to avoid his treatments—Grim clashes with Agnes, a sharp-tongued herbalist who actually knows what she’s doing. Together (sort of), they must navigate paranoid townsfolk, a suspiciously intelligent rat, and a deeply unhelpful local government, all while trying not to die... or accidentally make things worse. A darkly hilarious tale of misguided heroism, Plague Me Not shows that sometimes laughter really is the best medicine. Sort of.
