Billionaire Edward Powell has just died, leaving his vast estate to his four children: cold-as-ice Mia, cocaine-fueled Victor, faux-philanthropist Jessica, and good-hearted Daniel. The money, however, comes with one catch: the siblings must spend the weekend together at the family beach house on the Cayman Islands. Daniel sees this as the perfect opportunity to reconnect with his estranged family and introduce them to his fiancé, Emily. Meanwhile, his family sees this as the perfect opportunity to bump-off Daniel and take his share of the inheritance. As the bodies stack up and plans go awry, one thing becomes painfully clear: Daniel’s going to find out what family means, even if it kills him.
