A musician, who was being treated for depression, overlooked the dangers of mixing his medication with alcohol. The resulting cocktail of drugs put him in a deep coma. Luckily for him, he was discovered by his wife, a medical professional, whose quick response might have saved his life. Now Sklif’s emergency room doctors need to figure out the exact cause of his condition and find a way of bringing him out of the coma.
Meanwhile, another patient is admitted: a young man has received multiple stab wounds after a drunken fight got tragically out of hand. His lungs have been punctured, and the doctors suspect serious complications. The patient’s mother is also there – she came to the hospital as soon as she heard about her son being attacked. Now she needs reassurance from the doctors that her child will be alright.
Sklifosovsky Institute, aka Sklif: a name known to every Moscovite, and many Russians too.

Sklif's Emergency Intensive Care Unit is the clinic's busiest unit, with doctors and nurses tending to those whose lives are hanging by a thread. Here, battles against death are fought every minute of every day. It takes the best to win.
