A Pennsylvania man relocates to Los Angeles to join an ambulance service, paired with a charismatic veteran paramedic who cycles through partners. The rookie admires his calm in high‑stress calls, but learns the veteran hides heavy drug use and avoids commitment. Drawn into the same self‑destructive world, the younger man must choose his own path.
