THE SURGEON is a psychological thriller-horror about a performance artist with a scarred body and mind, who falls in love with a narcissist. In the dark, wet winter a vulnerable young woman hides herself away from a hostile world in the old house her grandmother left her. Cocooned, SUZIE works on her choreography, videoing herself for her upcoming performance at the ArtSpace. She rarely goes out; only to get basic food supplies. The house was left to her with a lodger; a beautiful and aloof surgeon, ISOBEL. Suzie finds herself intrigued by this woman, as she avoids the amorous attentions of JAMIE, the builder fixing her roof. When eggs start disappearing from the fridge Suzie becomes concerned about Isobel. She monitors the "egg-count" day by day, restocking the fridge with succulent goodies, but eggs are the only item that vanish. The surgeon denies taking the eggs; indeed, she never eats at home. Curious, Suzie starts to watch Isobel, checking her movements, listening for her arrival home. She is careful to correlate the number of hours Isobel is in the house against the number of eggs missing on any day. She talks to her, but gets no answers to her questions. She encourages Isobel to use the rest of the house, to eat with her, but has no joy. She asks about Isobel's work to no avail. Jamie points out that taking a flatmate's food is pretty normal. He doesn't think it is strange. Suzie shouldn't worry about Isobel, when she could be enjoying him. And the other things? Suzie doesn't tell him about the noises in the night, the visions she has in this house, the way Isobel slashed that bird's throat. She certainly doesn't own up to the spying. Spying on Isobel. She is sure that Isobel is watching her too. Suzie sees violence in Isobel; she knows she should be repelled but instead she is fascinated. Even after Jamie moves in, Suzie cannot shake her obsession with the strange surgeon. A secret affair begins between the two women, growing from acts of violence that they commit together as Isobel draws Suzie into her world. Jamie notices Suzie's developing sadomasochistic proclivities in the bedroom. But he has no idea of the danger he is in, as Suzie begins to understand who she really is and the nature of her own and Isobel's connection.
