Tom Novak's factory closes on Friday.
After ten years of work, he goes home with one white envelope, four hundred and fifty dollars, and rent due in thirty days.
Tom needs a job. Fast.
Then he sees a sign in the window of a small neighborhood food shop:
HELP WANTED.
At Miller's Market, the boss is hard. Mr. Miller watches everything: every box, every apple, every price, every date, every mistake.
"One week," he says. "I watch you. Then I decide."
Tom wants to prove himself. He learns the truck, the shelves, the customers, the cold room, and the rules of the shop. But one open door can change everything.
Can Tom fix his mistake? Can he earn Mr. Miller's trust? Can a small shop become a new beginning?
