Haunted by several terrible incidents from her past, a medical intern is besieged by a new horror when she is involved in a drunken driving car accident which takes the life of her beloved brother.

In the midst of this disaster, one man tries to maintain a stalwart bearing as he witnesses the dark road the medical intern is heading down. He desperately tries to reach her after she fails to act when the driver is brought into the hospital after over-dosing on sleeping-pills.
