Temple
Created by Mark O'Rowe
A morally fraught thriller about a surgeon driven to illegal medicine by desperation, balancing intimate character stakes against the paranoia and danger of operating outside the law.
Talented and successful surgeon Daniel Milton has his world shattered when his wife Beth develops a fatal degenerative disease. After conventional treatment options run out, Daniel partners with the lonely yet resourceful Lee to start a literal Underground clinic in the vast network of tunnels beneath Temple Tube Station in London.
