us Ford's trauma unit at the Willowbrook Medical Center is on the front line, fighting diseases that rage through South Central, L.A.'s violent, poverty-stricken inner city. But suddenly Ford finds himself battling an insidious new enemy. Patients brought in to the emergency room begin to develop routine infections, which suddenly bloom out of control.
