A husband finds his decade-long marriage and charity intertwined in betrayal.
Derek Green learns his ten-year marriage to Ivy Hill has ended in deception when he discovers she is pregnant with another man's child. The father is Kevin Payne, a student from a disadvantaged background whose education Derek personally funded. The financial support intended to lift Kevin from poverty instead facilitated the affair that destroyed Derek's marriage, forcing him to confront how his own generosity became the instrument of his betrayal.
