Shiba Kengo (Okada Masaki) is a young surgeon with a strong sense of justice and dedication to his work, but bad at ingratiating himself with his superiors. One day, he is suddenly ordered to transfer out from his university hospital to Okubo Memorial Hospital which is known to be in financial difficulty. Kengo is an important addition to the poor hospital and finds himself involved in emergency surgeries from the first day he arrives. He is taken aback by the imperturbable head nurse Kasugai Yuka (Nakatani Miki) who performs her role without batting an eyelid and the surgeon Mizuhara Ryoji (Katsumura Masanobu) who is always sarcastic when he opens his mouth – the types of colleagues that are not seen at the university hospital, but puts everything he has into his job. Although he has been sidelined from the fast track, he learns the reality of medical care and grows as a doctor as he strips away the masks of doctors, nurses and educators who practice this “sacred vocation”.
