We are all haunted by news footage from an endless stream of disasters and war zones that leave us feeling there is nothing we can do. 58 SECONDS is an epic, but also intimate, drama about those who believe we are wrong.

The series is set in a fictional organisation that might be Médicins Sans Frontieres or the International Red Cross. Our core group of characters are the medics, administrators and care-workers who volunteer to go to the world’s most dangerous and challenging places, alongside the people they work with on the ground and those they try to help. Together, these characters form the bedrock of a series that celebrates remarkable courage in the most extraordinary circumstances. From start to finish, 58 SECONDS will remind us of the power of that courage, the cost of dedication and the necessity of hope.
