USA, early 20th century. Tusia Hatherly, defying popular belief, managed to become a doctor, but made a fatal mistake in the operating room and never touched a scalpel or stethoscope again. To support her disabled son, she works in a corset factory for pennies, and when this source of income dries up, in desperation, she accepts an offer from the charismatic entrepreneur Hughie: the owner of a traveling troupe, he peddles quack remedies during his performances and hopes that a medical license will lend a semblance of legitimacy to his enterprise. Tusia vows to leave as soon as she pays off her debts, but Hughie has no intention of letting her go—he has long-term plans for the young woman. But in Galveston, where the troupe has settled in for the winter, a severe test awaits them: a sudden September storm turns into a devastating hurricane, devastating the Gulf Coast – and this will force Tuscia to rediscover her faith in medicine, in people, and in herself.
