But his world is shaken to the core on the day he hears that the hospital’s Director moved public funds intended for healthcare into his own bank account.

He plans to transfer the emergency care department, along with other loss-making wings, to another healthcare facility. But the plan proves deeply unpopular, causing problems for doctors, including junior pediatrician Lee No Eul (Won Jin Ah).

Will tensions, conflict, and financial pressure take their toll on the hospital’s hard-working staff – and its new head?
