Buchanan did not wait for Gatsby to return, she met and married Tom Buchannan (Joel Edgerton).

In the meantime, Gatsby’s neighbor Nick Carraway (Tobey Maguire) attended one of his gatherings. They meet and soon become friends. 
One day Gatsby requests Carraway to arrange a reunion with Daisy. During the reunion she recognizes Gatsby and falls back in love with him. Shortly, Tom finds out their affair and is annoyed by his wife's unfaithfulness, although he is already having a relationship with a woman.
