A surgeon sacrifices his wife to save his student's career during a fatal C-section.
During a scheduled cesarean, a celebrated surgeon allows his prized student to operate on his pregnant wife. The trainee leaves a surgical clamp inside the patient, but instead of ordering immediate repair, the husband forces the mother of his child to hemorrhage for eighteen hours to shield the student's future. She dies on the operating table, abandoned by the man who vowed to protect her. Now imprisoned and pleading for absolution, he discovers that regret cannot undo the choice that severed every bond between them.
