DMAT, the acronym for the "Disaster Medical Assistance Team", was first established in 2004. For the past 10 years, the team has been providing on-site emergency assistance at disaster-hit areas. Yakumo Hibiki was an surgeon at the Arisukawa General Hospital's Emergency Unit, but due to a mistake involving his sister Haruko, he has since been transferred to the internal medicine unit. One day, the hospital Director, Dr. Isesaki Katsuichi, requests for Hibiki to move to DMAT. His childhood friend, Nurse Yoshioka Rin, encourages him to take up the role, but upon joining the team, Hibiki finds his new colleagues aloof and a little eccentric. His first assignment is to a pile-up accident in a road tunnel, and he finds himself working against time to provide medical treatment to those who require immediate attention.
典型的な『神の手』設定に分類されるものではあるが、近年注目される都市型巨大地震や津波、火災などの現場で災害医療、いわゆる「瓦礫の下の医療」に尽力を傾ける「災害派遣医療チーム(DMAT)」の奮闘を細やかに描いた作品である。DMATの使命は、災害現場で、被災した人々の「命をつなぐ」ことにあり、十分な医療環境の調えられていない中で、一刻を争う人命救助の最前線で働く彼らの成長を描くヒューマンドラマである。なお、本作品では日本DMATではなく東京DMATが舞台である。
