Nurse the Dead follows Noa Reyes, a driven Filipina nurse supervisor whose ability to see ghosts — referred to as her "third eye" — makes her the go-to handler for a hospital ward teeming with restless spirits. Juggling demanding apparitions alongside staff burnout, family pressures and a coworker who seems to know more about her than expected, the series grounds its supernatural premise in the cultural specificity of the Filipino healthcare experience.
