When a major criminal godfather in Dublin is scheduled for Heart Surgery in a luxurious Private Hospital under the National Treatment Purchase fund, a public outcry follows. However a rival gang boss plans on taking full advantage of the situation.
Robbie Valentine, a member of the operating team is blackmailed into sabotaging the surgery. Trying to recruit help, he quickly discovers that not everyone on the team has the patients’ or his own best interests at heart.
As the day of the surgery draws closer, Valentine discovers some shocking truths about Modern Medicine, Politics and Crime and the greed that links them all together.
