Evelyn, a 55-year-old surgeon, was eager to meet her daughter Amelia’s new boyfriend, Jason, whom Amelia described as a charming and successful surgeon. However, during Thanksgiving dinner, Evelyn was shocked to recognize Jason as a former intern with whom she had an affair ten years prior, during a brief separation from her husband, Peter. The affair had ended when Evelyn discovered Jason’s unethical behavior, involving falsifying a patient’s consent form. Though she had fired him, she had kept the incident under wraps to avoid damaging his career.
Jason reappeared in her life, now dating Amelia and using the past to blackmail Evelyn. His threats included revealing their affair and blackmailing her into securing him a job or money. Evelyn’s stress deepened when Jason sent her texts and old photos and made subtle taunts.
When Evelyn disclosed the truth to Amelia, who was devastated, she resolved to confront Jason. At a café, Amelia confronted him, rejecting his manipulative attempts. Jason, however, threatened to expose Evelyn’s past if he didn’t get what he wanted. Evelyn intervened, prepared to confront Jason and protect her family once and for all.
