Pilot for a medical sitcom. Six male volunteers must spend 28 days locked up in a high tech drug testing clinic with angry nurses and scary doctors.
Vija is the main character - a newbie to the world of clinical trials. He's joined by angry loud-mouth Brandon, stupid Gavin, Columbian done-it-all-before Jose, posh Marcus and chilled-out Femi (who inexplicably keeps a large wood sculpture of a penis).
The staff are spotty Nurse Kelly (who Vija manages to accidentally repeatedly offend), unsympathetic Nurse Dana and Sian Nuttall, the scary doctor in charge of the MedaLink tests.
