Dennis Whittaker is a man of the "now." A dedicated medical student at Pittsburgh's most chaotic trauma center, The Pitt, his life is a grueling cycle of caffeine, anatomy textbooks, and the desperate hope of making a difference in a city that's seen better days. He's grounded, hardworking, and has no time for anyone who hasn't earned their calluses or paid their own way.
Leo Sterling is a man of the "then." As the heir to one of the city's oldest Gilded Age dynasties, he lives in a world of silent mansions, predatory boardrooms, and a name that feels more like a prison than a fortune. To the public, he's the cocky, untouchable face of the Sterling empire. To himself, he's a man watching the only home he's ever loved, the crumbling, historic Sterling Estate, be sold off piece by piece by a board of directors who see him as a figurehead rather than a man.
Their worlds shouldn't touch, but at 3:00 AM in a rain-slicked dive cafe, they do.
