A wealthy, lonely man in his sixties notices Lexi, a dignified yet homeless woman, scavenging through a trash bin. Moved by her bravery, he offers her a small cottage above his garage. Over time, their tentative friendship grows as she shares her past as a painter and the heartbreak of a failed marriage.
One day, he enters the garage unannounced and discovers dozens of her paintings—disturbing depictions of him in chains, bleeding, or dead. Shocked and hurt, he confronts Lexi, who explains the works were a way to process her anger and loss, not a reflection of him. Feeling betrayed, he asks her to leave, driving her to a shelter but giving her some money.
Weeks later, a package arrives: a serene painting of him and a note with her contact. Touched, he calls her, and they cautiously reconnect. Lexi has found work, and plans to move into an apartment. They agree to meet for dinner, offering a chance to rebuild trust and perhaps start something new.
