A week after Karen’s savings were stolen, she’s shocked to see her son Jake behind the wheel of a sleek new sports car. He insists it’s thanks to a new job, but her suspicions grow, sparking a tense confrontation as she tries to uncover the truth behind his sudden wealth.
It had been twenty years since her husband left—two decades of working late nights, stretching every dollar, and raising Jake alone. Life was always a tightrope, and one misstep felt like it could send everything crashing down.
Jake had always been her reason to keep going. Passionate and full of dreams, but at 25, he still hadn’t found steady footing. No job, no real income—just art, which never seemed to pay.
Then the worst hit: someone broke into Karen’s home and stole her entire life savings.
“I’ll find out who did this, Mom. Just trust me—it’ll all work out,” Jake had said.
But now, seeing him in that expensive car, Karen can’t shake the feeling that her son might know more than he’s letting on.
