Paul Masters is a troubled and irresponsible young man who doesn't much care about himself or his future until he crashes into the elderly Mrs. Halston one morning while rushing to school. He nearly kills her and, as a result, faces the harsh reality of severe legal jeopardy if she dies.  His relationship with his girlfriend Sandy is also on the rocks and everything in his life seems to be spiraling out of control until Mrs. Halston recovers and appears in court on his behalf, rescuing him from a lengthy jail term and a doomed perspective on life as well.

Following the brutal accident caused by Masters' impatience and carelessness, Mrs. Halston is taken to the hospital with her life hanging by a thread. He witnesses her carted away and realizes his life is changed forever by one careless act. Ironically, he fails to realize that what seems like a tragic event ending only in misery for him is really the most fortunate and life-altering moment of his life. Bad luck turns into the best possible luck for Paul Masters.

Sandy, the love of his life, is equally a mess who hasn't a clue what she wants from life. She parties too much, hangs out with destructive, immature friends and considers Paul a crimp on her unrestrained lifestyle. She only wants to dump him after the accident and possible jail sentence because she can't deal with the tragedy of it all and, unknown to her, the even greater tragedy of losing him.

Reconciliation is hard won for both after a rather rocky break up but, when they start talking openly for the first time because the pressure's off them both, they find they have more in common than they realized which draws them closer together...to a greater appreciation for each other and a more profound love after Mrs. Halston rescues Paul from prison.

They also run into a couple on the street, not much older than themselves, who offer them an opportunity to catapult their careers working with the next generation of top university graduates.

First year interns get tangled up in an enemies-with-benefits relationship while competing to be the top resident and get the best cases. ***** Delilah Harper has wanted to hold a scalpel in her hand since she was five. She's gone to the best pre-med and medical school, and now she's onto the best hospital in the country to start her residency. Everything is going according to plan with her dream of becoming a neurosurgeon. Except one little thing. Bradly Gallow. Stupidly tall, dark, and handsome Brad. Not only is he undeniably attractive, but he's also extremely arrogant and, unfortunately, intelligent-despite his stereotypical, air-headed frat boy name. Since day one of medical school, Delilah and Brad have been duking it out to be at the top of their class. And as fate would have it, they both match at the same hospital across the country to start their residency, continuing their rivalry. While competing to be the top resident, the two come up with the self proclaimed Brain Games where they battle for the best cases and keep tabs to see who will help perform the first major surgery. The games seem simple enough, until tension, sexual frustration, hidden feelings, and seemingly unfair advantages come into the mix to complicate everything. Who will win and who will lose? A spin-off of The Scars of Anatomy.
