Summary
The series is a medical thriller set in an emergency department (the "sorting plant") of a Warsaw hospital, where patients are assigned different priority codes (red, yellow, and green). The main character is an experienced doctor named Jacek, who struggles with the ethical dilemmas of deciding who receives urgent care and who must wait, essentially playing "master of life and death" during his shifts. The show explores how this immense power affects his psyche. The pilot episode likely introduces this high-pressure environment and Jacek's character, setting the stage for the moral conflicts and mysterious events (a series of unexplained deaths) that unfold throughout the season.
