"It hadn't occurred to me how scientists ended up on TV. I wasn't interested in becoming one of them, but clearly Andy was."
Kate's journey from undergraduate student to scientific researcher wasn't entirely planned - she simply wanted to do her best and make the most of every opportunity.
Through hard work and hardship she develops her expertise, and discovers herself along the way. Her path keeps crossing with Andy, a friend from university who is also trying to make a name for himself.
Andy's rise to fame is meteoric, but Kate knows he isn't the expert he is regarded to be. All she can do is hold on to her most valuable possession - her integrity - and hope the truth will be revealed.
