Brian, a greedy 26-year-old, mocks his younger sister Linda, 19, after their grandmother Marlene leaves him the family house and Linda only receives five old clocks. Linda, who had cared for Marlene, is heartbroken but continues to visit her grandmother, even adding her own savings to fund Marlene’s eye surgery. However, Marlene refuses the surgery, choosing to spend her remaining days in peace.
Linda renovates the house with her savings, fulfilling Marlene’s wish to restore it. After Marlene’s death, Linda and Brian are called to the lawyer’s office. Brian inherits the house, while Linda receives the clocks, which he mocks as worthless.
However, when Linda inspects the clocks, she discovers they contain a note revealing they are rare vintage timepieces worth $40,000 each. Linda chooses to keep the discovery to herself, knowing her grandmother’s love and wisdom were hidden in those timepieces, and that Brian’s greed would never let him see the truth.
