After rookie EMT Piper Gallagher responds to a call outside a Los Angeles shopping mall for a man who can only tell her, I can’t function,” the question begins to haunt her. How will Piper continue to function despite the horror she sees working in South Central, and despite her own fractured past?

Piper’s experiences as a rookie break her down and open her up as her genuine urge to help patients confronts the daily realities of life in the back of an ambulance and a hospital's hallways. This vivid and visceral debut is a rich study in traumain its causes and effects, in its methods and disguises, in its power and its pull.
