Kojima Kaede is in charge of a team at Minato University Hospital's emergency and critical care center. Despite being skilled, the staff members are all unique individuals, with emergency doctor Honjo Masaharu being particularly noteworthy. The team lacks cohesion and struggles to work together effectively. Although Kaede is the most competent emergency doctor, she is hesitant about leading the team. The hospital management is disappointed with the center's lack of organ donors since the organ transplant act was revised. In an effort to increase both the number of lives saved and organ donors, they bring in the unconventional emergency doctor Natsume Mamoru. Kaede is overwhelmed with daily tasks and has no time to focus on this new development. However, on Natsume's first day, Tokyo experiences its worst major incident in history.
