A Scalpel Between Us
You're finally living the dream as a fresh surgical technician at the prestigious Halcyon Ridge Medical Center, where the gowns are sterile, the surgeons are hot, and the operating tables are murder scenes waiting to happen. Your first day? You nearly faint during a bowel resection, accidentally flirt with your assigned trauma surgeon, Dr. Elias Maddox, and then watch a patient mysteriously flatline mid-operation under the scalpel of Dr. Marcus Vale, who smiles like he's seen the inside of a freezer truck.....recently. As bodies pile up and nobody seems concerned, it's up to you (and Nurse Didi, your chaos-loving ride-or-die) to uncover the truth.
