Synopsis

Martin Blake (Orlando Bloom) is an ambitious but apprehensive young doctor, eager to impress his superiors and colleagues - Chief Resident Waylans (Rob Morrow), self-assured fellow intern Dan (Troy Garity) and no-nonsense nurse Theresa (Taraji P Henson).

Despite working hard Martin finds it an uphill struggle to achieve satisfactory results, and he can’t seem to shake off his insecurities. However, when 18 year-old patient Diane (Riley Keough) is admitted for a kidney infection, Martin steps in, getting the much-needed boost of self-esteem he craves. But things take a dark turn as his enthusiasm begins to become an obsession.
