Berlin transplant Dr. Zanna Parker (Jones) begins her new job at a Neukölln hospital after a personal issue drives her from Munich.[4] Here, she must lead an underfunded ER team, and balance the needs of her initially hostile staff with demands from the hospital’s management. Among the other doctors are Ben Weber (Popadić), a generous but rule-bending doctor who is privately struggling with addiction and frequently parties with Kian Amini, one of his fellow doctors at the hospital; Emina Ertan (Şengül), a serious and exceedingly competent Turkish-German doctor, and Dominik Kohn, an undertrained doctor who hides his mistakes.[5] Patients are brought into the hospital by EMTs Olaf (Schütz) and Olivia (Breuer), whose outlooks on their patients begin to clash.
