Millie is a former emergency room trauma nurse who spent a decade as a loyal housewife supporting her academic husband Thomas in his campaign for university dean. Instead of appreciating her sacrifices, Thomas considers her unsophisticated and hires a graduate student named Lee to teach her etiquette, hiding a sinister plot to manufacture fake infidelity.
When Millie realizes her husband intends to divorce her penniless, she forms a clandestine pact with Lee, who is seeking revenge against Thomas for academic plagiarism. Together, they gather damning financial records and fabricated surveillance tapes to orchestrate a public reckoning that will strip the corrupt academic of his prestige.
