Oleg is a talented paramedic who is still in his early twenties. Katya, his wife, works as a nurse in the emergency room of a hospital. She adores Oleg, but she's tired of him prioritizing his patients before her. She informs him that she wishes to end their relationship. The new director of Oleg's EMA department is a ruthless manager with rigorous new regulations to enforce. Oleg isn't concerned with the regulations because he has lives to save; yet, his attitude puts him into conflict with the new supervisor. The emotional and professional crises are converging. Oleg and Katya must find a way to stay together in the face of their patients, alcohol-fueled off-shifts, and a changing health-care system.
