Richard is approached by a desperate woman called Helen Madsen, who gives him a marker and asks him to help her daughter Tricia, a promising young beach volleyball player who is managed and controlled by her toxic father Shane. A dangerous, insane, obsessive fan is sending disturbing letters to Tricia promising her that she will be his in death if not in life. Shane is telling her to ignore this but Helen is deeply worried. She is also worried that Shane is ruining their daughter's life, denying her the chance to choose her own future just because he lost his chance to be a sports star.
