After her father's death, Dr Iris Adler returns to Pittsburgh with a medical career moving faster than it should and a house that feels too quiet to live in. In the ER, she's steady, sharp, impossible to rattle - seeing what others miss without ever asking to be noticed. Dr. Jack Abbott notices anyway. What begins as respect turns into something harder to ignore and even harder to keep. But Iris has never trusted anything that feels permanent, and Jack knows better than most how quickly things can be taken away. Some houses are inherited. Some are built. Iris isn't sure she knows the difference yet.
