Dr. Max Goodwin is feeling the pressure as the hospital board reviews his performance. He is determined to prove his worth by pushing himself beyond his limits to better serve the patients of New Amsterdam.

The episode centers around the story of a young girl named Lily who has leukemia. Her father, Duncan, is a former patient of the hospital who has been in remission for 10 years. He is determined to do whatever it takes to save his daughter, even if it means going against the medical advice of the hospital.

As Max struggles with the board's review, he takes on Lily's case and goes above and beyond to find a solution for her. He enlists the help of a former colleague, Dr. Lauren Bloom, who has expertise in experimental treatments for leukemia.
