Laced with action, scandal and sex, this is a hospital drama unlike any other before, with no room for heroics or glamour. Instead Bodies goes for the jugular as it focuses on a hospital where things go wrong and the staff are all too fallible.

Rob Lake (Max Beesley) joins the team in a city maternity unit as a cocky, idealistic young doctor, but within days he realises that his new boss, Consultant Obstetrician and Gynaecologist Roger Hurley (Patrick Baladi) is bungling operations with alarming regularity. Rob is faced with the moral dilemma of whether to report Hurley's malpractice and challenge the most powerful institutions of medicine - or bite his tongue and place more patients at risk.

Your life is in their hands.
