About

Wanting to escape a broken relationship and a stressful career in the UK, Dr. Ruby Walker (Amrita Acharia, Game of Thrones) takes a job in India. Although she applied to work at a modern urban clinic, Ruby ends up at the overcrowded and underfunded Good Karma Hospital run by the formidable Dr. Lydia Fonseca (Amanda Redman, New Tricks). After the initial culture shock, Ruby learns to deal with the hospital's demanding schedule and many eccentric inhabitants, including her enigmatic colleague, Dr. Gabriel Varma (James Floyd, Falcón), and nearby beach bar owner Greg (Neil Morrissey, Line of Duty). As she adjusts to the challenges of her new role in rural India, Ruby begins to realize that the rundown medical outpost may be just what she needs to jump-start her life. This heartwarming drama also stars Phyllis Logan (Downton Abbey), Philip Jackson (Agatha Christie's Poirot), and Darshan Jariwalla (Sense8).
