Mel hails from a wealthy family, but she is obliged to work many jobs because of her mom's dire situation. She ends up having a one-night affair with a complete stranger and even gets paid for her "services" after getting drugged during a school reunion at a hotel, which she finds embarrassing. She accepts the money and goes, knowing that there is nothing more she can do to help her mother, but ultimately, she is unable to save her. She is forced out and rejected by her father for bringing dishonor to the family after being falsely accused and made fun of by people she least expected. She finds out she's pregnant and decides to keep it after having to fend for herself and her needs on her own without anyone's help. But what if the most powerful person was also the enigmatic person she had a one-night affair with?
