Synopsis:
In a world where wealth dictates access to life-saving medical advancements, Ray operates on the fringes of legality. Once destined for organ harvesting, her life took an unexpected turn when rescued by the enigmatic surgeon Black Jack. Now a skilled physician herself, Ray utilizes advanced ocular prosthetics – gifts from Black Jack that grant her unparalleled surgical precision. However, her work extends beyond mere healing. Driven by a hidden agenda and haunted by fragmented memories of her past, Ray seeks answers about the other children subjected to the same fate. Her medical cases are interwoven with a quest for truth, a journey to uncover those responsible for stealing not just her sight, but also her identity. The series explores themes of autonomy, exploitation, and the ethical boundaries of medical progress within a morally ambiguous landscape.
