COMPLICATIONS

Centers around O’Mara’s John Ellis, a disillusioned suburban ER doctor who finds his existence transformed when he intervenes in a drive-by shooting, saving a young boy’s life and killing one of his attackers. When he learns the boy is still marked for death he finds himself compelled to save him at any cost and discovers that his life and his outlook on medicine may never be the same.

Szhor plays ER nurse Gretchen, Riesgraf is Ellis’ lawyer-wife Samantha, Stamile (who worked with Nix on Burn Notice) portrays cranky MD Bridget, and Grosse co-stars as Ellis’ colleague and closest confidante Dan.

Gretchen Polk is an ER nurse at Samaritan Hospital. Pretty, whip-smart with an ironic smile and penetrating eyes, she's a good nurse but a bit of a dark soul. When John Ellis comes to her for help in saving a patient -- which requires violating hospital policy and her professional ethics -- she agrees, revealing that she has more secrets than anyone knew.
