About The Resident

Everyone makes mistakes in residency. But mine might kill someone. Dr. McKenna “Mac” Forbes is in the final stretch of her grueling medical training, juggling impossible hours, high-stakes decisions, and the ever-present pressure to prove she belongs. But when a brilliant new attending, Dr. Jonathan Shaw, arrives at Liberty Hill Hospital, everything starts to unravel. He's confident. Charismatic. Stunningly handsome. And far too perfect. Almost immediately, things go wrong. Mistakes appear in patient charts she swears she didn’t make. Medications are switched. Lab results vanish. Equipment disappears. And the mistakes—her mistakes—keep piling up. But Mac knows she didn’t cause them. At first, she blames the stress. The exhaustion. But then she hears footsteps outside her apartment at night. There’s a window open that shouldn’t be. Notices strange looks from other doctors. McKenna starts to doubt herself—until she begins to suspect someone wants her to fail. Someone’s watching her. Someone’s setting her up. And if she can’t uncover the truth soon, she won’t just lose her career—she could lose everything. But the game isn’t over. Because when the trap finally snaps shut, she won’t be the one caught inside.
