In the small town of Porcupine, where the residents are all anthropomorphic animals, a young junior doctor named Finley arrives to begin work at the busy St. Ursula Hospital. Returning from a break after an accident, he settles into the demanding rhythm of hospital life, tending to patients while forging friendships with a florist, a nurse, and a fellow young doctor. As the days pass, small tensions and troubling incidents hint that something is amiss beneath the town's cozy surface. Balancing his duties, his relationships, and his own quiet struggles, Finley is gradually drawn into uncovering the secrets weighing on Porcupine and its hospital.
