The story
Annie works at a fried chicken restaurant, where a delivery driver named Kevin is a regular. When she gives him a free Coke, his wife Brenda spreads a rumor that Annie is sleeping with him, posts a revealing photo of her, and the internet turns on her. After men assault her in an alley and the police do nothing, Annie jumps from the Blackwood Bridge.
She wakes back at the restaurant on the exact day Kevin comes to pick up his order. Determined to avoid the free Coke, she stops her coworker Tim from giving it away, but he secretly adds one anyway.
