A poverty-stricken female college student, Rainy Miller, who was funded by Chloe Thompson, not only fails to show gratitude, but also becomes envious of Chloe's affluent lifestyle. Rainy attempts to seduce Chloe’s husband, Ethan Bennett, hoping to take Chloe’s place. After being rejected, Rainy feels humiliated and, in Chloe's room, steals a condom, artificially inseminates herself, and becomes pregnant with Ethan's child. During Chloe's event where she is awarded the “Humanitarian Excellence Award” for her contributions to Grandland, Rainy appears at the scene with the child, reporters, and police, accusing Chloe and Ethan of kidnapping her and assaulting her. As a result, Chloe and Ethan are publicly shamed, their reputations destroyed, beaten by the crowd, and left to die in humiliation.
