Dr. James Ford serves as a psychiatric registrar at a hospital in North Yorkshire, where he balances the intense demands of mental healthcare with a personal life teetering on the edge of collapse. Beneath his seemingly confident and occasionally aloof demeanor, James carries a burden of emotional turmoil. While some colleagues perceive him as arrogant or detached, others recognize a deeper truth: he genuinely devotes himself to his patients, particularly the most vulnerable ones who struggle to find a voice within the system.
During a hectic on-call shift, James faces a harrowing situation that tests both his medical judgment and emotional resilience. He must make a split-second decision between attending to a new mother visiting for what should be a routine postnatal mental health assessment and intervening in the care of a woman exhibiting severe psychotic symptoms who may require immediate sectioning under the Mental Health Act.
The pressure of the moment is compounded by institutional understaffing. Along withJames’s own fraying mental state. This sets off a chain of events no one could have foreseen.
What began as a routine shift spirals into a life-altering crisis, triggering devastating consequences that will ripple through the hospital’s psychiatric unit—and through James’s own conscience—forever.
