After seven years of marriage, Leslie is blindsided when her husband, Arnold, locks her out of their home for another woman. Once loving and devoted, Arnold has turned cruel and dismissive, convinced Leslie will never leave because she relies on him financially.
But when Leslie calls Arnold’s father, Walter, the tables turn. Outraged by his son’s behavior, Walter gives Leslie and the kids his lake house, cuts Arnold off from the family business, and even funds her divorce. In the end, Arnold loses everything — his home, his job, and his mistress — while Leslie rebuilds her life with the support of the one man her ex least expected: his own father.
