Too nice. That's what Jen is. Everyone tells her so, including her judgmental ex-husband. But Jen doesn't let that stop her when she sees an old woman and dog huddled by the side of the road during a snowstorm. She stops her car and brings the two of them home to spend the night out of the storm. In the middle of the night, she hears noise coming from her office and finds the old woman at her computer.
Angry and unsettled, she locks her office and spends the night admonishing herself for letting this woman into her home. Not the dog, though. She has named the little guy Pepsi and become attached to him. But in the morning, both are gone, along with her life savings. Maybe her ex was right and she is too nice for her own good. Isn't she?
