A young woman named Miriam (Dani Lennon), whose mean-mugging estranged father-a sociopathic U.S. war profiteer-slash-billionaire named Cyrus DeKalb (Ray Wise)-decides that his will shall contain nothing but judgement for his four children. Not money or things: just cold-heard cruelness in the face of his own mortality (how sweet!). No wonder Miriam works for a non-profit focused on global peace.
