Damian Sterling chooses his childhood friend’s dog over his wife Claire and their seven-year-old daughter, Mia, again and again. He gives the dog Mia’s bedroom, humiliates Claire in a collar, and ignores every warning about Mia’s severe asthma. On his seventh choice, Damian locks Mia in a freezing boathouse and drives the only key to the vet. “Daddy, please let me breathe.” He hangs up. When the truth finally surfaces, Claire is gone, his daughter is dead, and the man who always chose too late must pay for every choice.
