Synopsis:

They are the elite of the elite. Heroes who risk their lives to rescue others. They are the men and women of Rescue Special Operations. Experienced paramedics in peak physical condition, they're skilled in abseiling, rock climbing, surf and sea rescue, 4wd driving, and fire brigade procedures. They're the first to be called in for any natural or man-made disaster, salvage or rescue operation. Dean and Chase Gallagher are brothers. Competitive alpha males, they argue over everything, agree on nothing, but defend each other from outsiders no matter what. Their boss Michelle and logistics manager Vince are the best in the business. Highly professional and cool under pressure. The rest of the elite unit includes Lara, an ex-gymnast and expert at getting into tight places, Jordan, a dare-devil surfer and diving professional, and Heidi, who loves nothing more than abseiling down a sheer mountainside. The job brings them face to face with life and death situations everyday which they endure with training and a fair dose of humour. Deep down they're just like any one else, juggling love, life, and career. Join them for a high-octane, gut-wrenching, emotionally uplifting ride.
