Dr. Lucien Blake is a physician in 1950's Australia, and in this episode of The Doctor Blake Mysteries season 3, entitled "My Brother's Keeper," he finds himself torn between his duty as a doctor and his loyalty to his family when his estranged brother comes to town.
Lucien's brother, Daniel, is a gifted but troubled artist who has made a name for himself in Melbourne. However, Daniel is also a drug addict and a chronic liar, causing him to burn bridges with almost everyone in his life. Despite their differences, Lucien agrees to let his brother stay with him while Daniel completes a commission for a local businesswoman.
Soon after Daniel's arrival, however, the businesswoman is found murdered, and Daniel becomes the prime suspect. As a result, Lucien is pulled into the investigation, attempting to clear his brother's name and uncover the truth behind the woman's death.
As Lucien delves deeper, he discovers a web of lies, deceit, and betrayal that threatens to tear apart the tight-knit community he calls home. With his family's reputation on the line, Lucien is forced to make difficult choices about what it means to be a brother, a doctor, and a member of society.
Meanwhile, Lucien's assistant, Jean, finds herself struggling with her own family issues as she deals with the arrival of her mother, who disapproves of Jean's decision to work for a man instead of settling down and starting a family. Jean's attempts to balance her personal life with her job duties ultimately lead to a surprising revelation about her family's past.
As the investigation heats up, Lucien must race against the clock to clear his brother's name and bring the true culprit to justice. But in doing so, he risks exposing long-buried secrets that could destroy his family's reputation and his own career.
