Plot
The film follows a 24-hour shift of Randy, an EMT paramedic, and his partner Mike in Ambulance #42. Frequently feeling chastised, overworked, and overlooked by both healthcare professionals and fellow uniformed personnel, Randy attends a job interview at an insurance company, highlighting that he is burned out. Believing he did not get the position, he reports for his next shift feeling dejected and irritable. His mood worsens when his supervisor, Shanice, assigns him a student ride-along, Jessica. That night marks the beginning of Randy’s grueling 24-hour shift with Mike and Jessica.
Six hours into the shift, Randy receives a call offering him the insurance job. Elated, he shares the news, but Shanice instructs him to complete his shift before moving on to his new position. The remainder of the night is intense and emotionally taxing. The team treats a man with a stick lodged in his eye, tragically loses an 11-year-old boy after delivering him to the hospital, and restrains a mentally disturbed individual who believes he is the President of the United States—an encounter that nearly results in both the patient and Mike being shot. Initially, Jessica is highly critical of Randy’s decisions and his approach to emergency care. However, as the night progresses, she begins to understand why EMTs do what they do—especially Randy, who has served in the field for 18 years.
Near the end of the shift, the crew responds to a severe car crash and becomes the first on the scene to successfully save a mother and her baby. Labeling them as Priority 1 patients, Randy decides to divert to the nearest hospital despite being instructed to transport them to the university hospital. Upon arrival, the team is reprimanded by Chief Dr. Serrano, until Jessica intervenes and reveals herself to be the new ER resident.
At the end of the night, Randy is surprised with a heartfelt farewell from his colleagues and supervisor for his last shift. After beginning his new job at the insurance company, Randy struggles to adapt to the slow, calm pace of office work. Realizing he belongs in the field, he quits and returns to his role as an EMT.
