Dustin, a 22-year-old car enthusiast, buys his older sister Jessica’s old, dilapidated car for a symbolic price. Despite its poor condition, he sees potential and invests $5,000 and countless hours restoring it. He replaces the tires, repaints the body, and installs a new sound system. Proud of his work, he’s pleased with the car’s transformation.
One day, Jessica shows up at Dustin’s house demanding the car back, claiming her husband Tom’s car broke down and they need a replacement. Dustin refuses, pointing out that he legally purchased the car and it now belongs to him. However, their parents side with Jessica, suggesting she needs it for her children. Frustrated, Dustin agrees to temporarily let Jessica take the car to avoid a bigger argument.
Later, his girlfriend Gabi reminds him that he secretly installed a GPS and camera in the car. When Dustin checks, he finds that Jessica and Tom were planning to sell it for a profit. To protect his investment, Dustin consults a lawyer and sends Jessica a formal letter, threatening legal action unless she transfers the car title to him. After a tense meeting, Jessica reluctantly agrees to sign the paperwork, transferring full ownership to Dustin and relinquishing any claim to the car.
What began as an old, neglected car now symbolizes Dustin’s ability to set boundaries and protect his rights, showing how even the smallest things can spark significant family drama.
