When Selena’s beloved stepmother, Linda, throws away the only photo she has of her late mother, Selena doesn’t scream—she simply warns her that her father hid a life-changing envelope behind it. Panicked, Linda rushes to the dump to retrieve it, only to return filthy and defeated.
Selena’s father reveals the truth: the envelope once held surprise vacation tickets and plans for a cabin meant for Linda—gifts he removed the day before. Heartbroken by Linda’s disrespect, he chooses his daughter instead and takes Selena on the trip.
When they return, Linda is gone, leaving only a note confessing her jealousy. Selena and her father restore the treasured photo to the mantel, reclaim their home, and finally find peace together.
