Blackridge

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.‎
