Do to this she was listed among the good surgeon doctor in New York City, but one good thing that spoil the dog tooth is that her Dad was a fraudster who also has a lot of debt from the bank to pay and also from some loan shark, surgeon Catherine is trying hard to pay her dad debt to the bank by slashing her monthly pay into two, meanwhile Catherine did not know her dad has been collecting other loan from some loan shark and keep running from one place to another. She has a younger brother called Mike. Mike lives with her sister and also has been trying to pay other loan of their dad which her sister did not know about because he his the only one the loan shark do contact whenever they couldn't get hold of their father, Mike has been using the tuition fee plus allowance whenever her sister gave him for college to settle some of the debt from some of the loan shark. There mother divorced their father because of the issues coming up everyday about loan shark, police arresting him for fraud and so on. In the hospital where Catherine work, they always commend her for a good work though she is very strict and never laugh no matter what but they did not understand what is going on with her and whenever her senior professor ask her about why she is always moody she just reply with all is well.
