Devoted nurse Alex has just been promoted to Supervising Nurse in the emergency department at St. Denis Medical Center in Oregon. She works alongside an eclectic team of underfunded yet dedicated doctors, nurses, and hospital staff, including her boss, Joyce, who wants nothing more than to turn the hospital into an international medical destination, and Dr. Ron, who’s done it all, seen it all, and is pretty much over it all. They’re all doing their best not to lose their patience in a hospital overrun with patients – while caring for everyone who comes in the door, including each other.

They couldn’t be more different, but they’ll navigate this new life together... because at Happy’s Place, everyone is family.
