How exactly does a place such as the Panama Canal operate, or a train station the size and scope of Grand Central Terminal? And who keeps a "Cirque du Soleil" show a smooth and spectacular spectacle night in and night out? "Nerve Center" takes cameras behind the closed doors of such institutions, to the operations core where workers shoulder pulse-pounding responsibilities. Viewers get to meet key personnel and see how they make everything interconnect seamlessly -- and at rare times not so seamlessly.
