Netflix’s official synopsis reads: “Amidst an approaching hurricane heading toward Miami, third-year resident Dr. Danny Simms (Willa Fitzgerald) gets promoted unexpectedly after beloved Chief Resident Dr. Xander Phillips (Colin Woodell) is put on suspension. As the hospital declares a lockdown due to the intensifying storm and a surge of critical cases, Danny and Phillips have to collaborate despite being confined with shocking revelations about their complex and secretive romantic involvement. Meanwhile, the remaining staff members at the emergency room navigate the consequences of their affair along with handling their individual and collective hurdles—both personally and professionally—all within the high-stakes environment where making split-second decisions can mean life or death.
