The Estate

Macy and Savannah are turned down for a bank loan, leaving them scrambling for cash. Their mother reveals that their aunt Hilda is ill with cancer, which adds urgency to the family situation. Savannah suggests they pursue Aunt Hilda's inheritance as a last resort, and Macy agrees because her boyfriend is moving to Alaska if they fail.

The sisters travel to Aunt Hilda's mansion to discuss the inheritance with the family. They are confronted by cousin Beatrice and her husband James, who accuse them of scheming for the estate. The mood is tense as insults fly and suspicions mount.

Richard, or Dick, arrives and keeps the tension alive among the cousins. The adults trade barbs while the cousins squabble, and Dick makes a pass at Macy despite the familial relation. The scene foreshadows the messy family dynamics over the inheritance.

Savannah and Macy hatch a plan to bring in their aunt's former high school crush, Bill, hoping he can influence the aunt in favor of their side. They imagine presenting Bill as a suitor who could secure the will for the family. The scheme exposes how far the sisters are willing to go for money.

Beatrice overhears the scheme and decides to enlist manipulation rather than fair competition. She schemes to have her aunt sleep with her husband James, who rebels against it. The betrayal deepens as loyalties split within the family.

The cousins arrange for Bill to come to the estate, hoping to leverage a romance for the inheritance. Dick recalls that Bill is a flasher and warns Beatrice, who then informs the aunt of Bill's past. The aunt, however, is open to the idea of marrying Bill as a way to secure the estate, setting up a clash with the cousins.

The aunt signals that she would consider marrying Bill, which shocks the cousins and shifts the power dynamics. The plan to manipulate her with a suitor intensifies as the family weighs loyalty and greed. Tensions rise as the possibility of a new beneficiary emerges.

The cousins unite to prove Bill is still a flasher and thereby derail his involvement. They enlist their younger sister as bait to get him drunk and coax him into exposing himself. The attempted sting shows how far the family will go to claim the estate.

James leaves and tells Beatrice he wants her to come with him, forcing a tough choice between him and the money. Beatrice chooses the money, signaling a deepening betrayal within the family. The sisters watch the scheme edge toward a final confrontation.

The attempted sting leads to chaos in the garden as Bill is seated with Ellen and then passes out. Savannah photographs the scene while Macy tries to help, and Geoff arrives to witness it all. Hilda shows serious illness as a doctor is called and the family realizes time is short.

The aunt is urged to sign a will that gifts the estate to the cousins, but she rebukes their schemes before she dies. A doctor confirms the aunt is near death, and the family witnesses the final moments of her life. The will execution occurs shortly before her passing.

During the will execution, the lawyer reveals the aunt had 17 million dollars, but after debts only a tiny amount remains. Macy also receives the painting of the aunt's dog as a consolation prize. The moment seals a bittersweet outcome for the siblings.

Back at their home, the sisters discover a document showing the painting is valued at 4.3 million dollars, far surpassing expectations. The discovery shifts their perspective on the failed inheritance scheme and hints at hidden value. The sisters brace for new implications of the family fortune.
