At 102, former teacher Rose discovers her life savings—over $180,000—have vanished. The bank reveals a “financial representative” named Nancy was added to her account while Rose was sedated in the hospital. Nancy, her ex–daughter-in-law, blew the money on luxury cars, resorts, and designer goods and smugly told Rose she’d “signed the forms.”
Humiliated at the grocery store when her card is declined, Rose runs into June, a once-quiet student she encouraged decades ago—now an estate-fraud attorney. June takes the case pro bono, subpoenas records, proves forged signatures, and even pulls Nancy’s incriminating resort photos from social media. In court, Nancy’s lawyer calls Rose “confused,” but June’s receipts and calm precision cut through the lies.
The judge rules for Rose: full repayment with interest, Nancy’s car repossessed, job lost, reputation ruined. Then June springs a surprise—a gathering of Rose’s former students who share how she changed their lives. Lily, Rose’s granddaughter, arrives with even bigger news: June helped her secure a full scholarship for next semester.
That night on the porch, Rose and Lily savor peach-sweet summer air and a hard-won peace. Rose tells Lily that stories can still end kindly—and that this home, and her love, are hers. Karma, it turns out, remembered; but it was love and community that carried Rose the rest of the way.
