Plot

In the humble abode of Nora, a resilient single mother, and her son Michael, life brims with simplicity but lacks the comfort of affluence. Their world of humble means takes an unexpected turn when Max Dugan, Nora's estranged father, appears like a specter from a forgotten past. Abandoning Nora and her mother when she was just nine, Max returns carrying the weight of a fatal heart condition and a suitcase overflowing with dollar bills, the fruits of his dubious career in the glitzy, unforgiving world of Las Vegas. With the clock ticking, Max seeks redemption, showering Nora and Michael with lavish gifts in an attempt to mend the broken bridges of yesteryears. However, his sudden generosity raises eyebrows, particularly of Nora's sweetheart, a diligent policeman who harbors a growing curiosity to meet the mysterious Max Dugan. As Nora navigates this intricate web of past mistakes, newfound wealth, and complicated relationships, she must grapple with her father's past and the consequences it might bring to her present.
