The Kelso/McIvey rehab center is a place of hope and healing for its patients -- and for the dedicated staff who volunteer there. For lonely newcomer Erica Castle, its' a place to make new friends. For brilliant physical therapist Darren Halvord, it's a chance to showcase his unusual gift. For beautiful Annie McIvey it's a sanctuary from a cruel husband. And for directors Naomi and Greg Boardman, it's a lifelong dram about to be destroyed if Annie's husband, David, has his way. A brilliant surgeon, an implacable misogynist, a man whose ego rivals his skill with a scalpel, David McIvey now has controlling shares in what has always been a non profit clinic. His plan to close the clinic and replace it with a massive new surgery center -- with himself at the helm -- means that the rehab center, with all its good work and good people, will be forced to close its doors.
