Premise

28-year old Kay O'Brien, known to all as "Kayo", is a surgical resident in a New York hospital and, like most residents, she has too many patients, not enough sleep time and one too many superiors on her tail. To cap it all, her live-in partner, Sam, has moved out taking the stereo with him.
