Succession meets And Then There Were None.

Every family has a secret.
The mega-rich Pallanders are used to luxury - a castle in the Scottish Highlands, a villa in Tuscany, a billion-dollar fortune and an island in the Caribbean - but their perfect life is about to be shattered.

Every father has a favourite.
Sebastian Pallander dies, leaving a pitiful amount of money to his wife and children. His family fight over the scraps as old rivalries and bitter jealousies come to the surface. And when Pallander's son is killed in mysterious circumstances, everyone suspects foul play.

Every killer has a motive.
After a desperate race for survival, the relatives gather at their estate to weather the storm. They all begin to wonder- who will be next? Where has all their money gone? And will any of them get what they truly deserve?
