Brilliant Manhattan neurosurgeon David Lang has developed a breakthrough treatment to repair damaged nerves, which promises a long-awaited cure for paralyzing brain and spinal cord injuries. He believes his treatment is safe, but he must first get permission to use it from New York State's health system, CareFree. Beset with budget overruns and other priorities, the powerful agency puts David's procedure on the back burner. To the surgeon's despair, it will take years for CareFree to study the new technique and for him to complete the red tape needed for acceptance. He's warned that if he performs the treatment without the proper authorization, he can lose his license and go to jail. His frustrations mount. Then one case pushes him over the edge.
