"Código cinco" es la expresión que señala el momento de máxima gravedad en un proceso quirúrgico de emergencia: el paro cardiaco. Pero en el St. Luke's Hospital es la misma institución la que está al borde del colapso. Decrépitas las instalaciones, dividido el personal, las salas abarrotadas de enfermos que esperan cuidados que no reciben. Para el Dr. Jud Tyler la tarea será abrumadora. Llegará a arrepentirse de su decisión de volver a Framingham. A su lado, una serie de personajes diversos y característicos: el capellán Chuck Rogers; el superintendente del Hospital, Asa Ford; la bella y rica divorciada Samantha Fellowes, más preocupada por los médicos que por sus propias enfermedades; el negro Eric Cates, agradecido a los blancos que han hecho posible su educación; la enfermera Kathryn Galloway, cuya eficiencia oculta intimas frustraciones, y Angus Claiborne, el rey de los bajos fondos, el potentado que basa su fortuna en la miseria de los barrios humildes.
