Jackie Peyton is an experienced New York nurse whose ability to respond to emergencies conceals a private life becoming harder to manage. Her work brings her into contact with frightened patients, overworked colleagues and the compromises of a hospital trying to function under pressure. Outside those immediate crises, addiction and deception threaten the relationships she relies on. The second season includes Dr Eleanor O'Hara's on-and-off involvement with journalist Sarah Khouri, whose visits expose disagreements about trust and commitment. Their recurring arc is the relevant sapphic season scope. It sits within a dark workplace comedy and drama rather than a series devoted principally to their romance.
