TENTANG EPISODE INI
It’s late one night in America, and two men are chasing tweakers from a local meth den. One escapee, James, gets away. The other, a girl, is set on fire by the men before they drive off. Meanwhile, local police chief Daniel Carter is asleep on the job, again, when he spots James crawling out of the woods, and transports him to the nearest medical facility, Marsh General, where he estranged wife Allison works as a nurse. The hospital is on the verge of closing after a fire took out most of it, and they're working with a skeleton crew: besides Allison, there are two nurses, Kim and Beverly; one doctor, the mysterious Richard Powell; and only two patients, Cliff and pregnant Maggie. It’s upon Daniel’s arrival that the world tilts on its axis: strange robe-clad figures emerge from the forest, Beverly is caught performing impromptu surgery on Cliff, and Maggie goes into labor. What happens from here defies logic, description and expectation, but as Daniel and Allison determine to face down the wickedness that comes their way, they soon find themselves enmeshed in a plot that goes way beyond medical science, and maybe, beyond the reaches of time and space itself.
