Accused Of Taking Kickbacks

At a lavish birthday party thrown by Layla Marsh, her son Clark appears disguised as a waiter and collapses, revealing that he has received only three hundred dollars a month instead of the thirty thousand she believed she was sending through Rowan. Clark accuses Rowan of making his life a living hell over the past year, and a roommate backs him up with stacks of IOUs.

Rowan, a self-described professional freeloader who keeps meticulous accounts, insists he never needed the money, but Layla's silence and the guests' disdain leave him cornered. As Clark's smug look catches his eye, Rowan wonders whether the boy staged his own misery or someone is pulling strings from the shadows.

Whatever the truth, Rowan knows he is done playing along.
