Steve has had an epic struggle. Everyone who has seen him is very surprised that he is still alive. They have not written him off as a lost cause but he has defied the odds and is not dead. However, he has a lot a fighting to do with a long road of recovery ahead of him. His first goal (if he was able to think logically about it) is to last the night, hour by hour. If he does not hold on, the hard and dirty work of many would have been for nothing.

Paramedic Natalie is having a bad day. In her eyes, she is doing her job to the best of her ability. She is getting to the calls quickly and treating the patient, often in difficult circumstances. Her boss does not agree. He thinks that her high powered rapid response motorcycle is spending more time on its kickstand than what it is under lights and sirens. With the day that she has had, the end of the shift is not going to be pretty. At least she has a date with 2 overseas paramedics to look forward to at the end of the shift!

It has been a long day for Sydney train driver Judy. She is only halfway through her shift and already she has prepared her train for service and driven up until the last possible moment of her meal break. Arriving at Central station, she has sufferred a train driver's worst nightmare. After dealing with a series of people that she would not feed, Judy has to make her own arrangements to get home. The gloves are off for this normally calm driver.

Police Officers Nicole, Leila & Caroline haven't had enough fun for the afternoon - they want more! Cruising around Sydney's Chinatown district, Leila is hungry for Chinese as well as some action. The two experienced officers want to ensure that rookie cop Caroline has a great first day but they also want to make sure she doesn't end the day as another case for the CSI team.

After a slow start, Station Officer Renee and Rescue Operator Katrina are winding down at the fire station after a difficult rescue. Now off the clock, the two women can take their time and have a long hot shower. Katrina's day isn't over yet, Natalie has invited her out for a drink to meet a couple of overseas paramedics who are visiting Sydney.

In this chapter, Paramedic Natalie needs another pair of hands in a confined space. Looking at the emergency workers on the scene, Natalie could only see one solution. This would mean teamwork with a person that she did not know. At that stage though, Natalie could not be choosy. What was she doing there, anyway? Isn't her job to get there as quick as possible, start treatment and then move on to the next job when the crew arrives?

Rescue Operator Katrina to put her recent training into action. While the rescue training was extensive, it could not cover every scenario. This scenario was very real. It was going to be a difficult rescue and Paramedic Natalie has just made it that little bit harder, dirtier, smeller and cramped for Katrina by requesting her pair of hands, specifically.

Police Officer Caroline has been awaiting this moment for months. She is working her first shift as a fully trained Police Officer and along with her partners Leila & Nicole, she is speeding towards Central railway station. It is the start of the afternoon rush hour and everyone wants to go home. Somehow though, if you add some action to the mix, some people are happy to stand around and get in the way of everyone.

Judy has been driving her Sydney train for a few hours now and is coming up to the train where she is required to have her meal break. She is eagerly awaiting her arrival at Central station then she can go for a walk and eat. The trip has been smooth so far and once the train gets to Central, it is not Judy's problem any more as another driver will take the train over. She has passed through Central many times before - what could possibly go wrong?

It's a sunny afternoon in Sydney but for Emergency Department doctor Lisa, she has no idea what the outside world is like. This afternoon, her world is filled up with fixing people who have been injured or are acutely ill. Moving from patient to patient, Lisa finds herself grativating towards one cubicle in particular. Questioning her morals but not her ability, Lisa is wondering why she is doing what she is doing.
