Synopsis
Chance at life provides a portal into the lives of Dialysis unit 'regulars', both patients and staff. Together they confront life's limitations and its certain end with unique stories of struggle, hope, and triumph.
The story is told through the viewpoints of three characters-young nurse Rachel, her mentor, Elizabeth, and dialysis patient Darnell.
Rachel is a novice nurse whose well-intentioned choices put her career in jeopardy. Her personal life disintegrates when she discovers that she is pregnant and her fiancé abuses her.
Kidney failure derailed Darnell's career dreams. He waits in vain for a transplant, losing hope as long days on dialysis consume his future.
Elizabeth, a seasoned nurse practitioner, faces her own failing kidneys and decides to refuse dialysis, planning to let nature take it's course--though her daughters and nephrologist won't let her go so easily.
The dialysis unit is a high stakes cauldron of conflicts and ethical dilemmas. A machine malfunction claims one patient's life, another patient obtains a black-market kidney transplant, and another patient withdraws from dialysis and and throws herself a 'going away party'. Covid 19 arrives bringing an entirely new dimension to the daily dramas.
Chance at life is a gripping poignant exploration of the human spirit and the unforeseen connections that form in the most trying of circumstances, perfect for those who appreciate medical dramas filled with real-world challenges and heart felt story telling.
