At the beginning of this new saga of the famous Trauma Center series, surgeon Dr. Markus Vaughn travels to a remote hospital in Alaska to escape the selfish practices of the Concordia Medical Institute. Far from the obstruction of administrative politics, Markus is free to develop a newly discovered skill called the Healing Touch. He also encourages his partner, Dr. Valerie Blaylock, to expand her abilities as well. When the Alaskan facility closes, the pair is forced to return to Concordia where doctors place politics and image above all else, even patients' survival.
