Inspired by the mischievous spirit of Kind Hearts and Coronets, this darkly playful comedy follows an underdog who suddenly realises that a vast family fortune might be within reach.

After growing up as a disinherited orphan, Becket (Glen Powell) discovers that he could inherit the family wealth if he becomes the last relative standing. What begins as a half-serious thought soon gathers momentum as he sizes up the various eccentric relations ahead of him in the line of succession. Life, however, becomes more complicated when he lands a job on Wall Street and falls for the clear-headed Ruth (Jessica Henwick), while his fiery childhood sweetheart Julia (Margaret Qualley) encourages him to follow the plan through to its outrageous conclusion.

Writer-director John Patton Ford mixes sharp humour with a touch of noir as the story explores ambition, temptation and the strange moral corners people can find themselves in.

Powell’s easy charisma keeps the story grounded, while a lively supporting cast including Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris and Campbell Scott adds colour. An entertaining, twisty-turny tale about greed, family and the unpredictable consequences of getting exactly what you wish for.
