Season 2 follows psychiatric nurse Ford, who is committed to helping his patients despite his life being a mess and his colleagues at the North Yorkshire hospital thinking he is arrogant.

“As he torn between life as a new mother on a routine check-up and locking up an overly psychotic woman during a busy shift, no one could have foreseen the dire consequences,” the synopsis reads.

“As George and Norma discover a hospital seemingly at war with itself, how far will James go to keep his position? Is he a doctor with a god complex or the victim of greater problems?”
