Divorce can be messy, but when tragedy strikes, it can bring out the worst in people. A 54-year-old man and his 52-year-old ex-wife are at odds after the death of their 22-year-old son, Michael, who was a firefighter and died on the job. Michael’s girlfriend, Ilhan, is pregnant and living in an apartment the couple helped secure. The ex-wife, never fond of Ilhan, is now demanding that the apartment be sold, leading to a heated confrontation.
