Troy Phelan, a 78-year-old eccentric and the 10th-richest man in
America, is about to read his last will and testament, divvying up an
estate worth $11 billion. Phelan's three ex-wives, their grasping
spawn, a legion of lawyers, several psychiatrists, and a plethora of
sound technicians wait breathlessly, all eyes glued to digital monitors
as they watch the old man read his verdict. But Phelan shocks everyone
with a bizarre, last-gasp attempt to redistribute the spoils, setting
in motion a legal morality tale of a contested will, sin, and
redemption.
