Shaun Murphy// living every day

"Hello, my name is Dr. Shaun Murphy, I'm a surgical resident at St. Bonaventure Hospital."

Lillian Myers is a surgical resident at St. Bonaventure Hospital, who works alongside Shaun Murphy, one of her fellow S.R.'s. She also happens to be his new neighbor. When she first meets Shaun, she isn't sure what to think of him. He is loud, clumsy, and incredibly hard to talk to. Will she figure out how to reach him?
Shaun Murphy is a young surgical resident with savant syndrome, which makes him incredibly smart. He also has autism, which has made him an outcast his entire life. When he meets Lilly, he finds someone who wants to accept him the way he is, weird quirks and all.
When a piece of Shaun's past re-emerges, his world is turned upside down. Lilly becomes his anchor, but can't fully understand how to help Shaun because he refuses to talk about his past.
Lilly and Shaun are both trying to navigate the crazy, busy, sometimes insane life in San Jose. On a journey with a new twist at every corner, will they ever find themselves?

"Shaun, I don't know how you live like this."

"I'm... just living. Every day."
