Family Doctor

I have three days to kill a patient. If I fail, my daughter will die...

As the only doctor on a stunning remote Scottish island, I finally feel safe and happy. Here, nobody knows about my troubled past except my teenage daughter Lauren. As a single mother, it's just the two of us now, and Lauren is my world.

Caring for every person on the island from birth to death, I know all their fears and secrets. But they don't know mine, and for the sake of my daughter, I must keep it that way...

Everything is going perfectly until I am sent a link to a live video stream of my beautiful daughter Lauren, her wide blue eyes terrified. And there's a voice:

'Three rules. Three days.

You must murder one of your patients.

You must not tell another soul.

You must not get caught.

If you fail, your daughter dies...'
