When newlyweds Melissa and Jake return from their honeymoon, they discover their wedding gifts missing and a shocking note from Jake’s mother, Linda, claiming them as “payment” for watering their plants. A red dumpster in their backyard holds the remnants of wrapping paper and gift bags. The stolen gifts include family heirlooms, a costly espresso machine, crystal wine glasses, a stand mixer, cash, and a cherished quilt from Melissa’s late
grandmother. Furious, they confront Linda, who dismisses their anger, asserting her entitlement. Recalling a past incident where Linda claimed a gift meant for Melissa, they devise a plan. They invite Linda to a barbecue, where she brags about the stolen items, unaware they’re recording. They post the video in a private Facebook group with wedding guests and Linda’s friends, exposing her actions. The backlash is swift—guests demand their gifts
back, some threaten police involvement. Humiliated, Linda returns everything by week’s end. Jake and Melissa reclaim their gifts, re-unwrap them, and personally thank each giver, cutting Linda out of their lives. Jake firmly tells her she’s unwelcome until she respects their marriage. The dumpster, meant to discard their joy, becomes the catalyst for Linda’s downfall, proving Jake’s loyalty to Melissa and delivering justice through her own vanity.
