Once, Dr. Aiden Cross was a name that commanded respect - Chief of Trauma at St. Gabriel's, the surgeon everyone trusted to make the impossible calls. Then one wrong dose ended a child's life, and Aiden vanished into silence. Years later, under a new name and stripped of everything but skill, he returns to a small county hospital where no one knows his past. But Keller has its own ghosts - a relentless trauma ward, a fire that nearly consumes it, and Nola Whitlock, a neurologist who sees more than Aiden wants to reveal. When an old nurse from his former life reappears, Aiden's carefully built anonymity collapses. In a single night of fire and blood, he must choose between hiding again... or finally letting himself be seen. Raw, intimate, and cinematic, "Where The Guilt Lives" is a story about medicine, memory, and the quiet, stubborn grace of being forgiven.

After years of long shifts and endless patient charts, Nora Ashmore feels like she's fading. The job that once filled her purpose now drains her, and she's left wondering when helping everyone else transitioned into losing herself. Then Nic Zamora walks back into her life - an old friend turned paramedic whose easy humor and quiet support remind her what it feels like to be seen again. What begins as a simple reconnection soon becomes the spark that helps her rediscover her confidence, her ambition, and maybe even her heart. But when a chance to start fresh as a traveling nurse finally arrives, Nora must decide if she's truly ready to move forward and whether moving on means leaving him behind.

"Ich habe mich immer für das Leben und die Gesundheit anderer interessiert, habe sehr viel dafür getan, meinen Körper fit zu halten, bin für alles und jeden da gewesen, hätte einem Penner mein letztes Hemd gegeben und was habe ich jetzt davon? Hirntumor im Endstadium." Jake Sawyer ist Krank. Und diese Krankheit ähnelt nicht etwa einem Schnupfen, der von selbst wieder verschwindet oder einer Mandelentzündung, die man mithilfe von Medikamenten bekämpfen kann. Nein, Jake ist unheilbar krank, denn er hat einen Hirntumor, gegen den er seit sechs Jahren ankämpft. Mit der Zeit ist die Tablettendosis immer höher und Jake immer schwächer geworden. Einsehen will er das aber nicht. Denn er ist stark. Er ist kein Schwächling. Und auch er hat Träume. Jake will die Welt sehen, unbekannte Tierarten erforschen, lange Abendspaziergänge im Wattenmeer machen, einen anderen Kontinent bereisen und - wenn auch ein wenig unbewusst - seine große Liebe finden. Doch sieben Monate sind reichlich wenig Zeit dafür und nach Jahren des Kämpfens gibt er sich selbst auf. Aber dann lernt er jemanden kennen, der all seine Wünsche wahr werden lässt ...
