Alexandra (Özlem Sağlanmak) is a young neurologist working in an understaffed hospital ward. During a hectic shift in the neurological department she takes on extra responsibility. Because of staff shortages she has to cover two shifts at the emergency department at once.

When time runs short, she sends the eighteen-year-old patient Oliver and his mother home. Minutes later Oliver suffers a life-threatening stroke, and Alexandra begins to doubt herself. Guilt and reproaches echo through the hospital corridors as she faces the emotional consequences of a medical error.
