Daddy's Dyin', Who's Got the Will?

After years of estrangement, the Turnover family reunites at their small-town Texas estate to bid farewell to the family patriarch, who has suffered a debilitating stroke. Joined by their plus-ones, they bring with them a tangled web of family trauma, greed, and jealousy.

This sometimes heartbreaking, often hilarious journey through family dynamics offers moments of sharp wit, surprising warmth, and a poignant reminder: sometimes losing something precious is the only way to find what truly matters.
