As four brave med students allow themselves to be filmed for a year, the observational experiment delves deep into their personal struggles within the celebrated hallways of excellence, where only the strongest can endure the grueling journey to become the best. But as the stakes are raised, a sinister force lurks in the shadows, and the students must confront their inner demons to survive. Will they emerge victorious, or will they become the next victims of the ruthless pursuit of perfection?
