Blackridge

By Deon Heyns

After a very public scandal shatters his reputation, Dr Sam Slater is sent to the remote outback town of Blackridge for a year of supervised practice. Sam arrives determined to keep his head down, do his job, and outrun the whispers that have followed him across the country.

But Blackridge has a way of dragging people into its orbit. The heat is relentless, the isolation sharp, and the locals know far more about Sam's past than he'd like. As he navigates a town where every introduction feels like a judgment, Sam is pulled into the lives of patients who need more from him than quick diagnoses. And when something goes terribly wrong on his watch, he realises his fresh start may already be slipping away.

Faced with suspicion, danger, and the weight of his own history, Sam must decide whether he's here to hide - or to finally fight for the truth.
