Mercy Street
故事发生在美国内战时期，主人公是两名护士志愿者——来自新英格兰地区并支持废奴主义的Mary Phinney和支持南方联盟国的南方佳丽Emma Green。Green家族在弗吉尼亚州的亚历山大市经营豪华酒店生意，北方联邦军1862年占领这座城市后，他们的酒店被改造成专门治疗战争伤员的「大厦之屋医院」（Mansion House Hospital）。Mary Phinney是个寡妇，最近刚刚来到「大厦之屋医院」工作。医院雇佣的外科医生Jedediah Foster，他从小生长在一个南方权贵家庭中，父亲是马里兰州的大地主，家中有许多黑奴。Green家族的掌门人James Green, Sr.，他很难在一座「敌人占领」的城市里维持家族生意。Emma Green是「大厦之屋医院」的一名护士志愿者。Alfred Summers医生是「大厦之屋医院」的外科主任。他爬上这个职位完全因为他的年纪忽悠了所有人，并非因为他有真材实料。守旧的军医Byron Hale，一切都循规蹈矩。他一方面密切监视护士们的一举一动，另一方面却与Anne Reading护士保持着密切的关系。黑人工人Samuel Diggs，他隐藏了一个秘密：他从一个年轻的男仆那里学会了医术。美丽的Aurelia Johnson，是医院里的洗衣女工，她试图忘掉自己的过去。
The staff unites to save one of their own. A former slave turned activist arrives in town, causing a rift between Foster and Mary. The Greens are in disarray; Emma and Frank’s romance ignites and Samuel plans for a reunion with Aurelia.
A house guest becomes the focus of Alice’s schemes. When Mary falls ill, Foster’s attempts to care for her antagonize the new chief. Charlotte tries to contain the smallpox epidemic and Samuel has to make a difficult decision.
As Pinkerton looks at the Greens more closely, they join forces to hide an ugly secret. McBurney, hoping to distance Foster from Mary, sends him to a nearby army camp on a house call. Alice helps Frank escape and Samuel earns Charlotte’s respect.
After the Second Battle of Bull Run, Hopkins and Emma set out to rescue a stranded group of wounded Union soldiers. Lisette, a hospital observer, discovers the truth about a young soldier, shocking Foster. Hopkins and Emma share an intimate moment.
Lisette re-creates on paper the face of a disfigured, amnesiac soldier, leading to a family reunion. When Anne’s plans to be made head nurse fail, she rejoins Hale to undermine McBurney’s authority. Pinkerton questions the Greens, causing a rift.
After Antietam, the Greens suffer a setback and Pinkerton’s inquiry heats up. Foster and Samuel visit Foster’s family plantation, where they intervene in a difficult labor. The hospital staff unites to oust their hated chief.
