At their seventh-anniversary banquet, heavily pregnant Odra catches her husband Dean bringing Sloan—the woman he calls his savior—and luggage into their home, publicly handing Sloan the house keys. Odra smashes the cake, throws down her wedding ring, and announces divorce, refusing thereafter to pay Dean's bills, save his projects, or clean up his messes. Dean chooses Sloan again and again, losing his marriage, daughter, career, and dignity step by step. After Sloan runs off with his last money, Dean kneels begging for reconciliation—but Odra has already walked into a new life with her daughter.
