The Inheritance
Death can change your life
Thirteen strangers are summoned to a grand stately home. They are there to compete for part of the fortune left in the will of The Deceased, a fabulously glamorous benefactor played by Elizabeth Hurley. But winning the money won’ t be easy. The Deceased had a wicked sense of humour and has designed a mischievous game to ensure only the best players can get their hands on her inheritance.
Overseeing the stipulations of her will is Robert Rinder, The Executor and trusted legal counsel for The Deceased. The lucky thirteen must work as a team to complete The Deceased’ s final requests, a series of devilishly difficult assignments that will demand they are clever, collaborative and cunning.
The Deceased’ s game has a delicious twist: only one player can claim the money gained in each request, so it’ s up to one of them to persuade the others that they alone deserve the cash they earnt together.
The Inheritance is a game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal, where it’ s not about who deserves the money, but who is willing to outplay, out-charm and out-scheme the competition to claim it. It is camp, cut-throat and completely gripping.
