Randy, a burned-out paramedic, plans to leave his job, but before doing so he must get through one more gruelling 24-hour shift alongside his partner and a new ride-along student. Christopher Leone's entertaining yet thought-provoking comedy-drama paints a grim picture of the stress and chaos of emergency medical work in an under-resourced city like Los Angeles, where the days are marked by a sense of futility and few rewarding moments. Rainn Wilson delivers an amusing performance as Randy, whose shift is punctuated by hunger, frustration, rage, and panic attacks.
