Luke survives a fall from the fifth floor and confesses to his parents that he lost the $180,000 they gave him for a house and even tried to kill himself. His father, Bryce, repeatedly orders the injured Luke to get up, offers loans and pushes for another gambling trip, while a mentor figure, who learned cheating to fight gambling, refuses to play. The mother pleads that Luke is still recovering. Bryce escalates, demanding they sell everything and hand over the money and insisting on taking Luke, leaving the family divided and their savings—and Luke’s recovery—in immediate jeopardy.
