At her mother Martha's funeral, nineteen-year-old Scarlett Sterling is informed by a lawyer that Martha married thirty-five-year-old Nate Morgan four weeks before her death. The marriage legally designates Nate as Scarlett's stepfather and guardian until she reaches twenty-five. Scarlett had spent the previous three months harboring a private crush on Nate, convinced he was only her mother's physician or advisor. The revelation triggers immediate rage and humiliation, leading her to strike Nate and hurl insults at the graveside. Nate absorbs the outburst without retaliation, leaving Scarlett alone with her mother's final text message urging him to care for her even if she despises him.
