Emily Foster never even lived in the old apartment her grandmother left behind, yet every time the building's main drain backed up, filthy sewage flooded her first-floor unit. Out of kindness, she kept paying the plumbing bills and even spent thousands improving life for her neighbors. But kindness means nothing to ungrateful people. When a loudmouth neighbor, a waste-oil-dumping vendor, and a spineless property manager pin the blame on Emily and pressure her to pay again, she offers one last compromise. They answer with a joint complaint and force her to move out. So Emily walks away. She takes back every shared amenity she paid for, seals up her drains, and lets the people who used her face the consequences of their own mess. But when they destroy the keepsakes her grandmother left behind, Emily stops being generous and starts fighting back. The neighbors who drove out the wrong woman are about to learn that regret comes too late.
