December, the busiest time of year for London's hospitals. Beyond the corridors lies a workplace full of professionals under the most extreme pressure where an unintentional slip can have disastrous consequences. Professionalism and prejudice, turbulent staff romances, ambition and failure collide in this swirling, action-packed drama about an overburdened service that we all depend on and the dedicated individuals that keep it going.
