Netflix has released a detailed synopsis for Always on Call: At the emergency room, it doesn't matter who you are - rich or poor, influencer, carpenter, or minister. If you've broken something, if you're bleeding, or if you need help, you'll get it. Despite low staffing, little time, perhaps one too many cups of coffee, and a demanding crowd of patients, a team of exhausted but resilient doctors and nurses are ready to help. Sofia (Sara Khorami), a surgeon with more talent than patience, is sent into this chaotic environment to save her own career - the last place she wants to be. There, she encounters disorder, resistance, and something she never expected: warmth, community... and love. Suddenly, she faces a choice: continue alone on her path to the top, or become part of something greater - a bond she never knew she needed. A family. Who are the cast members of Always on Call? Sara Khorami plays the lead role of surgeon Sofia. She has starred in two Netflix projects so far: the limited series Post Mortem and the film Troll 2. Outside of Netflix, she recently starred in the fantasy-horror Kraken, and previously starred in A Mouse Hunt for Christmas, Afterglow, and Made in Oslo.
