When Covid-19 spread around the world in 2020, it changed the lives of everyone in its path. Grace, an Intensive Care Unit nurse, is no exception. Dark clouds begin to gather over the bay as news headlines signal that Covid-19 has reached the United States with the first community transmitted cases emerging in the San Francisco Bay Area. Almost overnight, amidst a shelter-in-place, Grace finds herself on the frontlines of the crisis caring for the scores of patients filling her intensive care unit at Harris Memorial Hospital. Like a flash flood, the landscape of life inside and outside of the hospital is changed unexpectedly and drastically for Grace and those around her, forcing them to learn to live with uncertainty and under extreme pressures. Grace and her family navigate unforeseen complications as they attempt to make sense of and survive the crisis while carrying the defining weight of past and present trauma in a collision of circumstances through unchartered territory. It is uncertain whether they will find the path forward out of the eye of the storm.
