Emily inherits her late grandmother’s beloved house—the one that raised her—while she and her husband, Jason, still rent a small apartment. Then Jason pushes a jaw-dropping plan: sell Emily’s inheritance to help his luxury-obsessed mother buy a lake house, acting like it’s a “family” duty.
Emily agrees, but only if Dorothy sells everything too—house, SUV, cottage—so the sacrifices are equal. At dinner, Dorothy explodes, revealing the entitlement behind the demand, and Jason finally realizes what he was asking Emily to give up. Emily holds her boundary, Jason apologizes, and the grandmother’s house—and their marriage—are saved.
