In the tropical heat of Cairns, Australia, the orthopaedic surgery unit operates as a tight-knit tribe where personal failures and professional crises collide with devastating consequences.
Senior surgeon Ted Hughes watches his once-steady hands betray him in the operating theatre, while ambitious registrar Sophie grapples with a fatal mistake that shakes her confidence to its core. Volatile consultant Kane battles explosive anger that threatens both his surgical practice and his crumbling marriage, as single mother Kim Green fights to balance demanding surgery with raising two children alone.
At the centre stands Judith Fairbanks, the newly appointed director who must hold this fractured team together while confronting her own emotional isolation.
Set against authentic surgical procedures and the unique challenges facing women in a male-dominated profession, Trust in the Tribe explores a fundamental question: Is medicine merely a profession requiring technical skill, or a vocation demanding the courage to remain compassionately human when lives hang in the balance?
This is medical fiction that understands how personal wounds affect professional performance, where trust operates at every level—from the operating table to all levels of family life—and where healing others begins with acknowledging our own brokenness. A story of redemption, forgiveness, and the bonds that hold a community of healers together when everything threatens to fall apart.
