At her father's 70th birthday party, Landy arrives alone and is immediately confronted by her family, who belittle her lowly job as a hotel janitor and try to exclude her from the main table reserved for the wealthy guests like her successful siblings Helen and Samuel. Landy reminds them she sacrificed her education to help raise her siblings, demanding respect and a place at the table. Her father angrily rejects her, threatening to cast her out. Meanwhile, the family braces for a prestigious guest—the chairperson of Reverie Hotel—to arrive, hinting at greater tension to come as Landy faces humiliation and exclusion.
