Maggie Bennett, the dedicated nurse of a bustling city emergency department, is thrust into a deadly situation that jeopardizes her career and freedom. The night shift takes a treacherous twist when the trauma center becomes the target of a brazen robbery that turns deadly. A healthcare worker dies, and a doctor is shot. Her best friend and nurse, Willow Maxwell, is kidnapped. Maggie is the only witness.
The homicide investigation bears down on her as they question her involvement in the heist. Driven to clear her name, Maggie embarks on a relentless pursuit for justice with Benny Maxwell, a co-worker, friend, and wife of the kidnapped nurse. The perilous cat-and-mouse chase brings more dead bodies purposefully strewn in her path while false evidence is planted to keep homicide fixated on Maggie.
Meanwhile, earlier in the shift, Maggie's sister-in-law, a renowned Hollywood actress, Annella Wryn, arrives in the ER, injured from a fall. Maggie senses a sinister undercurrent when Annella's equally famous co-star, Chase Hayworth, declares himself to be Annella's husband. Maggie knows Annella is in love with Doctor Glenn Sloan, and they plan to wed. Unable to speak for herself, Chase declares himself Annella's power of attorney, making it difficult to treat her. Annella's diagnosis is perplexing and raises Maggie's suspicion of foul play.
As the parallel narratives unfold, a tapestry of intertwined lives, secrets, and imminent danger takes shape. Maggie races against the clock to clear her name, find Willow, and save Annella from certain death.
