Senior nurse Jen‘s night shift kick starts when thirty-five-year-old stabbing victim, Colin Richards, is rushed in by ambulance with injuries to his lung, arm and liver. He and his nineteen-year-old girlfriend, Esther, were awoken at gunpoint.

While Esther cradles her boyfriend, Jen tends to eighty-seven-year-old Nancy Shirley who fell alone at home. And in the minor trauma section, former international lawyer Robert Knutson is patched up after collapsing on the street, drunk.
