Inspired by a true story. After being sent to prison for a massive fraud scheme, a father must offer the promise of a payday to maintain a relationship with his wife and daughter. During a phone conversation between father and daughter, we see a photo of him and visual clues that reveal the impact his conviction has had on the family. In the end, the father has a change of heart, as does perhaps his daughter. His wife, however, still wants nothing to do with him.
