A college professor comes into the ER and Conrad realizes it's a former patient of his from when he was an intern. Meanwhile, Devon ends up admitting a man - who swears by an anti-aging regimen that he thinks is the answer to eternal life - into the hospital after he collapses.
Conrad Hawkins is one of Chastain Park Memorial Hospital's best doctors. Charming and arrogant, Conrad likes to take an unconventional approach whenever possible and believes it's his personal duty to shatter the romantic illusions of the first-year residents. Dr. Devon Pravesh is an innocent idealist who leans on his finely tuned moral compass, but with Conrad's help, he begins to realize that the practice of medicine is a business, like any other, with less-than-angelic patients and fallible doctors. Lives may be saved or lost, but expectations will always be shattered.
