Political circumstances force upstart doctor, Kazuaki Okita, to leave a busy hospital life and his girlfriend behind and go to the United States where he takes part in countless operations and develops into a top-notch surgeon. Then, at the behest of his ex-lover’s father, he returns to Japan to find his girlfriend has gone and married his best friend who actually masterminded Okita’s original exile from the hospital ten years ago. Unbeknownst to all of this, Okita is reunited with his ex-lover and best friend and the varying peculiarities of the hospital staff. Though awkward at times, Okita is single-minded in his pursuit of good medicine, endearing him to his patients and forcing his colleagues to rethink the true meaning of medicine and the value of life in a hospital drama swirling with passion, ambition, friendship, jealousy and pride.
