The young nurse is a hard worker, smart mouth. She doesn't back down from a challenge, and doesn't shy away from grumps. When their paths cross and worlds intertwine, loneliness isn't much of a factor anymore.

And after he slips a ring on her hand, snatching away her future, she makes only one vow---to become his biggest torment.
