hummingbird's nectar

1st March

In a tense and emotionally charged hospital setting, three nurses—Claire, Margot, and Bella—find themselves caught in a web of suspicion, power struggles, and moral dilemmas. They have always dreamt of helping others, especially helping bring children to the world. However, after many unexpected deaths, they are faced with the harsh reality of their jobs, leading them to question the hospital’s true values and morals.

Margot, an experienced nurse, commands authority, but her detached and cold nature pushes others away. Claire, increasingly emotionally overwhelmed and seeking answers, starts to break down, doubting not only her career but also the trustworthiness of those around her. At the same time, Bella finds herself torn between loyalty and self-preservation, struggling to cope with the growing tension.

When a shocking discovery is made, the characters are forced to confront the darker sides of their profession, grappling with guilt, betrayal, and their personal truths. As secrets are exposed and trust crumbles.

Hummingbirds Nectar delves into where personal and professional lines blur and the impact of one's decisions can reverberate far beyond the hospital walls.
