The New Wife

“My father is dead, and I am the one who found him.”

Finn finds his father dead at the bottom of the stairs. He hasn't seen the man in years. It makes me wonder how much we truly know about our parents' secret lives.

“I’m his wife. We were married in Vegas last week.”

Ruiz-Abate shows up claiming she is the new wife. She moved in just days before the accident. Some people have a gift for finding vulnerable men at the exact right moment.

The house feels like a character that keeps its own secrets. Every renovation hides something older and darker beneath the floorboards. It shows how wealth can rot a family from the inside.

Finn and his sister are suspicious of the new widow immediately. Their grief turns into a cold, hard investigation. Losing a parent can make you see your siblings as partners in a crime.
