Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | White Dwarf is a made-for-television movie that aired in 1995. Set in the future, student doctor Driscoll Rampart expects to become a physician to the rich and powerful; but is required by his school to perform his internship on a distant, rural planet named Rusta, orbiting a white dwarf star. The world has a distinct oddity—it doesn't rotate about its axis, leaving one side perpetually light, the other perpetually dark; with a massive wall separating the two sides. Rusta is only able to support life due to Terraforming, maintained by the Regulators. The light side is a Victorian-style colony which has adapted the tropes of the American Old West; while the dark side a Medieval-style kingdom. The story follows Rampart's character development from vain, arrogant snob to compassionate and caring physician. The movie also includes a side plot involving politician intrigue between the rulers of the light side and dark side; including a Hamlet-style murder, an association deliberately referenced by the assassin. |
