Jake Thompson used to take pride in his hands-on life—fixing cars, maintaining his home, and keeping a steady, honest routine. But over the past year, his world has begun to unravel. His wife, Marina, has become increasingly distant, absorbed in her career, spa days, and a clique of friends who seem to measure life in luxury experiences rather than loyalty.
