A dark comedy about familial greed and dysfunction, where multiple relatives scheme to inherit from a dying aunt, balancing satirical humor with genuine moral discomfort.

Down-on-her-luck divorcee Macey and her fickle sister Savanna attempt to win over their terminally ill, difficult-to-please Aunt Hilda in hopes of becoming the beneficiaries of her wealthy estate, only to find the rest of their greedy family members have the same idea.
