Mildred is a young lady who was diagnosed with an advanced case of tuberculosis (TB). At the hospital where she is to be confined, she meets Stuart, a nurse who would later, be the one who is "always assigned" to assist her. He is struck with "love at first sight" on Mildred. But before he met her, he was actually nursing a wounded heart, from a previous relationship. Is there a chance for love between two very sick individuals, when both of them are in need of healing - Mildred, from her physical condition and Stuart, from his emotional pains?
