At her granddaughter's wedding, 65-year-old widow Alice discovers her name tag reads "The old lady who will pay for everything," revealing how her family truly sees her—as nothing more than a financial resource. Unknown to Alice, her late husband Robert anticipated this treatment and added a secret clause to his will: any descendant who publicly humiliates Alice will be disinherited from his substantial fortune.
As Alice endures increasing disrespect from her son Richard and daughter-in-law Pamela, who treat her like an ATM and even plot to move her to a retirement home to sell her house, she forms a deeper bond with her grandson Michael, the only family member who shows her genuine respect. When Richard and Pamela attempt to establish power of attorney over Alice at her birthday dinner, claiming she's making poor financial decisions, Robert's attorney reveals the codicil's existence.
Alice must now make a life-changing decision: Will she enforce the codicil and cut off the family members who've mistreated her, or find another path forward? And how will this revelation transform the family dynamics forever?
