After her father’s funeral, Claire inherits his farm—and the feud he left behind. Dog mess on her porch points to bitter neighbor Walter, whose Rottweiler roams the line between their properties. Grieving and alone, she heads to the farmhouse to sort his things and finds an envelope with her name hidden in the kitchen.

Before she can read it, someone defaces the farmhouse with red paint—“LIAR. DEVIL.”—then speeds off. Security footage catches the plate: Walter’s son, Carlos. Claire storms over to confront them, but Carlos spits that her father ruined their family. Shaken, she finally opens the letter.

In it, her father confesses the truth: years ago he and Walter planned to buy the farm together, but he panicked when Claire’s mother was pregnant, put the deed in his name, and kept Walter’s money—stealing his partner’s savings and future. Nothing he did later could erase that betrayal.

Claire returns to Walter’s door with the farm keys. She apologizes, promises to transfer the property, and refuses to live on land taken by deceit. Stunned, Walter whispers thanks; Carlos softens, admitting he was wrong about her. When Walter invites her to stay for a meal, it isn’t full forgiveness—but it’s a start.
