The plot follows Kylie MacDonald, 35, a new paramedic who takes her first shift during the Edinburgh Festival, a month of artistic celebrations. Each episode covers a night on duty, mixing medical emergencies, dark humor and a mystery tied to a personal tragedy that threatens to upend her life. The title refers to the chronic fatigue that affects emergency services, according to Variety, whose average tenure in the UK does not exceed 18 months. Mackinnon will present the project at the Drama Co-Production Forum of the MIA Market in Rome from 19-23 October.
