Three years later. Jordan is in his shop. He pulls in an older customer, who’s got a flat tire. They have a conversation, where the stranger leaves his father’s last will in an envelope, and leaves.
His wife, Ella, is struggling with her own job in a barista café. Jordan gives Ella the document, which shocks her. His father was murdered three years ago. After learning there’s $100,000 to be found in an apartment downtown, she tells Jordan to call her lawyer, Edison.
One month later, Jordan found the hidden money and spent the entire month living there in solitude. He returns home, just to find Ella has new clothes, jewelry, and the fridge full of food. She tells him what’s his is also hers, since they are married. Seeing how much she’s interested in his money, he starts an investigation regarding his father’s murder.
Jordan finds Ella’s and his father were high school friends, who had a failed venture to create a car repair shop. Later they founded them separately, as rivals. After confronting Ella about the big detail she never revealed, Jordan decides to talk in person with her lawyer Edison.
