The Cost of Ego

Stay-at-home mom Karen, distracted by an affair, returns to find her house ablaze. Unbeknownst to her, her five-year-old daughter Anna lies dying in a fire truck rushing to the ER, driven by Captain Bob and accompanied by Good Samaritan Merry. When the truck crashes into Karen’s car, she blocks the road, demanding apologies and payment—blinded by rage and oblivious to the child inside. As paramedic Eve and bystanders beg her to move, Karen’s ego stalls the rescue, sealing Anna’s fate. Only when the truth emerges does she face the ultimate punishment: a lifetime of regret for the daughter she could have saved.
