The locale for the show is the very liveable, lovely city of Pittsburgh, and the "Three Rivers" refers to where the Allegheny River and the Monongahela River join to form the Ohio River.

In a recent TV Talk interview with Shaun O'Mac, showrunner Carol Barbee shared that the show flowed in a pattern of three storylines about the emotional nature of organ transplants. "The series will tell three stories that ultimately will become one story," shaired Carol Barbee.
