Every patient needs a hero. Chief Nursing Officer- Christina Hawthorne (Jada Pinkett Smith) has to juggle her demanding career with her equally important role as a single parent. Between the two, she barely has time for herself and has difficulty keeping things together, but she knows she has to. It’s what a hero does.

At Richmond Trinity Hospital, Chief Nursing Officer Christina Hawthorne is locked in a battle against forces far too large for any one person to handle. Whether fighting to see that a homeless woman is treated like a human being, talking a close friend and suicidal cancer patient off a ledge, accommodating the clashing egos of the hospital’s talented doctors and administrators, or managing a nursing staff of grizzled veterans and idealistic young rookies, she’s the much-needed conscience for an organization that all too often forgets whom it’s there to serve. Still learning to cope with the death of her husband and make peace with her powerful and grieving mother-in-law, Christina looks to balance her pressure cooker career with raising a smart but willful teenage girl as she tries to change a broken system, one patient at a time.

Catch Jada Pinkett Smith in this medical drama, in which she delivers a power-packed  performance as the Chief Nursing Officer who constantly struggles to hold the middle ground in a battle between bureaucratic administrators, heartless doctors, and apathetic colleagues who are caught up in an uncaring system. Joining Jada Pinkett Smith in Hawthorne is Michael Vartan (Alias) as Chief of Surgery - Dr. Tom Wakefield.
