Nala spends her days quietly keeping the house running, careful not to upset her cold, controlling husband, Tmaine. One day she receives divorce papers accusing her of being an unfit wife and mother—Tmaine wants full custody of their seven-year-old daughter, Zariah, and control of all assets. Nala discovers he has already emptied their joint account and even taken her jewelry, leaving her unable to afford a strong lawyer.
With help from Attorney Abernathy, Nala fights back in court, but Tmaine’s side presents staged photos of a messy home, fraudulent credit-card spending in Nala’s name, and damaging “expert” testimony from a child psychologist, Dr. Valencia—who claims Nala is emotionally unstable. Under pressure, Nala breaks down in court, making the lies seem believable.
On the day the judge is about to rule against her, Zariah suddenly enters the courtroom and reveals a video recorded on her old cracked tablet. The video shows Tmaine and Dr. Valencia are secretly having an affair and openly discussing their plan: framing Nala, moving money into Valencia’s account, provoking Nala to look unstable, taking custody, and disappearing. The courtroom is shocked.
The judge dismisses Tmaine’s case, grants Nala the divorce, awards her full custody and the house, freezes the stolen funds, and orders Tmaine and Valencia arrested for fraud and perjury. Afterward, Nala sells the house, starts a new life with Zariah, and builds a small catering business. Zariah explains she recorded the video because she sensed the truth and wanted to protect her mother—proving Nala didn’t fail as a parent at all.
