Although she doesn't have much money (she's an independent film documentary maker) she finds herself shopping at Marshalls for the exact outfit he wants to see her in. The next day Beaman pursues her at the funeral reception and she's not quite sure why, although his rich girlfriend dumped him, the ne who always torment Mila in school. He offers her an opportunity to film a documentary about his late uncle, a hoarder. Mila's pretty sure he's offering her something more as well.
