\"The<\/a><\/p>\n

New York City, 1901: The Knick faces an upheaval, as Dr. John Thackery\u2019s absence (due to his hospitalization for cocaine addiction), a dearth of affluent patients, and financial missteps have led to the board\u2019s decision to shutter The Knickerbocker Hospital in favor of a new building uptown. In this world of corruption, invention and progress, everyone is searching for the new path that will help him or her survive. Whether it\u2019s a path toward justice, freedom, love or just plain survival, nothing comes easy.<\/p>\n

As relocation plans proceed, the gifted but under-appreciated Dr. Algernon Edwards jockeys to become Thackery\u2019s successor as chief of surgery, while fellow doctors, nurses, nuns and administrators grapple with challenges at work and in their private lives.<\/p>\n
