Surgeon, Dr. Wallace has lost his job after his patient dies during a drug trial. A 15-year-old girl in a coma isn’t getting better and her parents are terrified.
Wallace heads to BunkerHill hospital after they have extended a job offer to him. An offer he isn’t too sure about. A young genius by the name of Bell meets Wallace at the door and brings him on a whirlwind tour of their facility while bringing him in on a meeting with a pregnant woman with cancer. Bell leads a hospital that combines brilliant minds in medicine and brilliant minds in technology, all while avoiding the red tape when it comes to trials and programs. Wallace looks interested.
The team comes together to come up with a strategy for the pregnant woman. They have developed a mini super computer that can be swallowed to monitor the baby’s vitals, giving them updates on when the baby is stable to be taken from the womb.
Meanwhile, the 15-year-old is still in a coma. Bell won’t accept the possibility that she may never recover. He promised her parents and he isn’t giving up. Even when the head doctor tells him otherwise.
Outside on the hospital grounds, Wallace is looking around. He seems impressed. A woman screaming interrupts his conversation with another doctor. The pregnant woman is in the pond, splashing and screaming that something is crawling all over her. He runs to her rescue.
Back in the hospital room, Margot the pregnant woman shares that she felt like there were bugs crawling all over her. Wallace asks if she has mental illness in her family. The husband gets mad.
Zoe tells Bell that she would appreciate if he didn’t undermine her authority and call her the reality police. Meanwhile, Wallace has discovered that Margot has had a strange past that includes a broken jaw and more. He thinks it has to do with her husband.
Margot explodes wildly from the other room. She needs to be restrained. Wallace steps out and demands her husband be taken away.
Wallace questions Margot about her signs of domestic abuse. She begins to cry.
We meet a possible new patient who has amnesia. They decide to take her on as a patient. They look at a person with GSS and Bell wants to take them on, but no-one else wants in. He overrides them.
Wallace wants Bell to tell him about himself. The GSS patient gave up a kid for adoption with the same birthdate as Bell. Bell isn’t sharing, though, he walks away from Wallace, telling him to stick to medicine and not research.
Wallace tells Margot that her tumor is choking her breathing. She has run out of time. She needs to worry about herself and not the baby.
Bell calls the team together – he has a plan for the coma patient. He wants to do brain to brain communication. He has reached out to the people who have the technology. They need funding and he needs them.
Wallace has doubts about removing the tumor from Margot. Bell gives him a practice run with a mock surgery. Meanwhile, the team is attaching the headsets to Chrissy the coma patient and her mom. They watch her brain waves for change and see activity. Her cerebral cortex shows consciousness. Her dad talks to her and she responds through her mother.
In Margot’s surgery, they manage to get the baby out before operating on her tumor. She leaves the operating room table! Bell is on the cloud 9. He tells Wallace to give her the good news.
Bell wants to know if Wallace is going to take the job. Before he gets Wallace’s answer, he tells him that he has GSS. In 5 years he won’t be himself. He will no longer be the genius. Wallace tells him he is sorry. He wants the job. Bell gives him a gift – it’s a figurine of himself. He adds him to the wall with his other teammates.
Wallace watches as Bell welcomes the GSS patient with emotion in his eyes.
THE END!
