DID YOU KNOW: Riley Keough's grandfather was Elvis Presley.

In the new thriller The Good Doctor, a young doctor's life gets out of control when he becomes obsessed with a female patient.

Martin Blake (Orlando Bloom) is an ambitious but anxious young doctor. In his first days of residency he is eager to impress his superiors and colleagues, including chief resident Waylans (Rob Morrow), self-assured fellow intern Dan (Troy Garity) and no-nonsense nurse Theresa (Taraji P. Henson).

When 18-year-old patient Diane (Riley Keough) is admitted for a kidney infection, Martin gets the boost of self-esteem that he craves. He enjoys the fact that he's in charge of her health and starts to develop feelings for her.

However, his enthusiasm soon becomes an obsession, and when Diane's condition starts improving, Martin fears losing her and begins tampering with her treatment so that she will have to stay at the hospital with him.

When orderly Jimmy (Michael Pena) discovers the doctor's budding relationship with his young patient and blackmails him for painkillers, things get out of hand and Martin is soon fighting for his reputation and career.
