Benjamin Barois (Vincent Lacoste) commence son internat au service dirigé par son père, le professeur Barois (Jacques Gamblin). Enthousiaste, il fait la connaissance d'Abdel Rezzak (Reda Kateb), un autre interne venu d'Algérie. Cependant, la dure réalité du travail hospitalier le rattrape bientôt. En effet, lors d'une nuit de garde, Benjamin se rend au chevet d'un patient SDF, Jean-Michel Lemoine, qui souffre de douleurs abdominales. Benjamin le rassure comme il le peut et lui prescrit des antalgiques, mais en raison des dysfonctionnements de l'appareil, il ne peut lui faire un ECG. Le lendemain matin, une collègue lui apprend que M. Lemoine est décédé.
