When Jason’s phone rings in the middle of the night, he finds his daughter Lily crying on the other end. Unraveling the details, Jason discovers that her landlord is forcing her out of her apartment after finding out about Lily’s recent raise at work. Fueled by righteous anger, Jason decides to take matters into his own hands and teach the landlord a lesson.

Jason listens intently as Lily explains the situation. The landlord had overheard Lily and her boyfriend Nolan celebrating Lily’s well-deserved raise, and immediately started hinting at a rent increase. When Lily didn’t respond with the expected panic, the landlord resorted to underhanded tactics.

“He secretly threw some old, prohibited chemical containers into my backyard and then accused me of violating the lease by storing hazardous materials on the property,” Lily tells her father through tears.

Outraged, Jason learns that the landlord has given Lily just two days to move out. He knows this is an illegal and heartless move, especially considering the oasis Lily has created in her backyard.

Jason fondly remembers Lily’s childhood, where she was always outside getting her hands dirty rather than playing with toys indoors. “Lily wasn’t the type of child to sit inside and play with her toys. She preferred to stay outside and get her hands dirty, trying to discover how things grew,” he recalls.

Despite his wife Jenna’s protests to encourage more “ladylike” behavior, Jason always encouraged Lily’s passion for gardening and nature. “There’s a few worms there,” Lily would point out excitedly while planting flowers, “but I still planted the seedlings anyway.”

As Lily sobs on the phone, Jason’s mind races with a plan to save her beloved backyard. The next evening, he shows up at Lily’s place with his truck and a few friends, all armed with flashlights and righteous anger.
