A mother learns from her daughter that her husband’s mistress, Lizzie, has been calling her “the evil one.” Suspicious, she checks a hidden
nanny cam and confirms the affair. Calmly, she collects evidence, contacts a lawyer, and files for divorce—no drama, just quiet resolve.
Despite the heartbreak, she prioritizes her daughter Tess’s happiness, allowing her to love freely. A beach memory, a heartfelt moment with Tess,
and a question Lizzie can’t answer all affirm her strength. In the end, she doesn’t break—she rises, and her daughter chooses her.
