Two adult white children expect to each receive half of their late, white father’s estate. Unknown to them, he has amended the will to include a Black woman, reducing each child’s share to one third. Both siblings oppose the move, with the daughter’s blatant racism fanning the flames. Struggling with drug addiction, the son reacts badly to the ensuing conflict and goes on an extended relapse, leaving his sister alone to file suit to keep all the money in the family. The struggle comes to a head as he returns, chastened by his ordeal, and the new inheritor urges the daughter to relent.
