The Good Girl

Justine Last, a woman in her thirties, feels increasingly trapped in her mundane life in a small Texas town. Her husband, Phil, prefers to spend time getting high with his friend Bubba instead of initiating a family, leaving her feeling undervalued and unfulfilled.

Justine meets the new cashier, Holden, at Retail Rodeo, where she works alongside her co-workers Cheryl, Gwen, and the security guard Corny. Their friendship begins to grow as Justine confides in him about her feelings of being trapped in her life.

Holden attempts to take their relationship to the next level, but Justine hesitates and ultimately turns him down. Frustrated, he leaves her a letter, threatening that she will never see him again unless they meet at 5 p.m. that day.

Reluctantly, Justine agrees to meet Holden at a motel. Their encounter results in an intimate moment, but it brings further complications to Justine's already strained marriage with Phil.

Justine's affair begins to unravel her marriage as tensions with Phil mount. She panics after seeing Bubba's truck outside the motel and decides to end things with Holden, fearing he might expose her secret.

Bubba blackmails Justine into a sexual encounter, which Holden witnesses from outside the window. This event intensifies the chaos in Justine's life, as she struggles with her choices and the web of deceit she finds herself in.

Holden, filled with emotions and alcohol, confronts Justine in her car and makes shocking accusations, even suggesting he would kill Phil. This confrontation heightens Justine's fear of losing control over her life.

After feeling overwhelmed, Justine takes a pregnancy test, which shockingly turns out positive. While Phil rejoices at the prospect of parenthood, Justine is engulfed in anxiety regarding the child's true paternity.

Tensions rise when Justine learns that Holden is suspected of stealing $15,000. She discusses their complicated relationship with her boss, Jack, while Holden casually hints at running away with her.

Justine's home life becomes chaotic when she returns to find Phil and Bubba celebrating her pregnancy. A surprising phone call reveals that Phil is infertile, creating a mix of emotions and further complications.

In the days following the revelations, Justine grapples with her desires and the consequences of her affair with Holden. She makes a critical decision regarding their future, which sets the stage for further turmoil.

News breaks of a police standoff involving Holden at a hotel, culminating in his tragic suicide. This devastating outcome leaves Justine reflecting on her choices and the impact they had on everyone involved.

The day after Holden's death, Justine finds herself entangled in a web of lies when Phil questions her fidelity. To escape the pressure, she falsely confesses to having an affair with Corny, only to have more complications arise.

Justine's admitting to an affair with Corny leads to unexpected consequences at work when Corny appears injured. This further complicates her already fragile situation and strains her relationships with her co-workers.

Despite the turmoil in her life, Justine finds herself still working at Retail Rodeo but experiences a fleeting moment of happiness when Phil brings their newborn baby to her. This moment leaves the audience questioning if Justine can truly find joy amidst the chaos.
