Written and executive-produced by Leight, the drama, according to the industry website, is described as a “real time ’extreme event’ medical series that follows the nurses and doctors of an understaffed Brooklyn hospital that becomes the borough’s last viable trauma center after a catastrophic hurricane wreaks havoc on the city. On a holiday weekend with few doctors on call, the medical staff will be pushed to make the most difficult life-and-death choices as they work to save their patients and themselves.”
Charles McDougall will direct and executive produce the pilot; Haggis will also executive produce.
Leight, who was a showrunner for NBC's Law & Order: SVU, won the 1999 Tony Award for Best Play for his jazz-themed Side Man.
