Nora flees her marriage after Graham repeatedly sacrifices their daughter Ellie to favor his childhood friend's child.
Nora trusts Graham to collect six-year-old Ellie from ballet, but a violent storm exposes his loyalty to childhood friend Paige and her daughter Mia. He abandons Ellie in the downpour, then gives Mia the last dose of fever medicine while insisting Nora fabricated Ellie's 104-degree temperature. The pattern hardens into sabotage when Nora discovers glass shards planted in Ellie's ballet shoe to guarantee Mia's victory. With each betrayal, the marriage fractures until Nora retains a divorce attorney, purchases two tickets, and prepares to leave with her daughter.
