   Summary

   When a gas explosion leaves a Chicago building on the verge of collapse, County General is thrown into chaos. John Carter and Peter Benton ride out with EMS, knowing the structure isn’t stable and that someone is still inside.

   Carter goes in anyway.

   In the choking dust and shifting debris, a rescue turns into something far worse. Trapped beneath concrete with only a crackling radio and Benton’s voice in his ear, Carter is forced to fight for his patient… and then for himself.

   By the time help reaches him, one question remains:

   What will it cost to survive?
