Greer Trousdale finds her new job at Chicago's Cook County Hospital off to a rocky start in the spring of 1937 when her special skills as medical transcriptionist collide with the handsome x-ray doctor, Thane Keaton, during a crisis. A Geiger counter becomes an intermediary of sorts until a date at the lush Garfield Park Conservatory sets their hindered mutual attraction into better alignment. When a careless orderly poses an internal threat, Greer must learn more about the x-ray machine, using her typewriter keyboard's QWERTY as a secret code. On a hunch, she'll employ a low-dose of unwavering support for the hero behind the x-ray machine, a device whose invisible power has the strength to penetrate damaged tissue for amazing diagnostics--or irradiate it for a harmful demise.In a tragic year where the Hindenburg and Amelia Earhart fall from the sky, surely something uplifting can endure for posterity--like love meant for all time.
