Zachary Hayes is a man in his thirties who is experiencing crises in every aspect of his life.

His father had accumulated substantial debts before he died, yet Zach knew nothing about it due to his strained relationship with his father. However, Zach had no other options because he also had significant debts to loan sharks. He was bankrupt and had nothing, including a place to live. As a poor son-in-law in a wealthy family, Zach had to endure endless humiliation. His wife, Sarah Bennett, openly cheated on him, and his in-laws constantly humiliated him in front of the extended family while mentioning the debts of Zach's father, of which he had no knowledge. The only thing that kept Zach going was having a place to sleep and free food. Zach tried to earn acceptance in the Bennett family by starting a business with the support of his acquaintances, but it was all in vain because the Bennett family didn't want to see Zach succeed on his own. He faced threats from various parties he had never imagined before. Then, he met Jeremy Brooks and Hannah Mitchel. These two came to help him uncover the mystery behind the Bennett family.
