Storyline for The Inheritance on Prime

Three siblings are left reeling after the unexpected death of their father.

Secrets are exploded, relationships ripped apart, and lives lost as they try desperately to claw back the inheritance that they have lost.

Daniel (Robert James-Collier), Chloe (Jemima Rooper) and Sian (Gaynor Faye) are fairly typical siblings at mid-life; they’re busy with their own lives to the point where they don’t visit with their dad, Dennis Watson (Larry Lamb), as often as they like.

And, as we see from the birthday party video, the three of them don’t have the warmest relationship with each other.

Daniel drives up to the house where they grew up, ostensibly to ask Dennis for a loan to help out his struggling restaurant.

But when he enters the house, he sees first responders surrounding his body, unable to revive him.

The siblings find out from the coroner that Dennis died from alcohol asphyxiation, exacerbated by sleeping pills he took.

That news is shocking to all of them, given that they didn’t know their father to be a big drinker.

Episodes of The Inheritance on Prime

Written by Aschlin Ditta, The Inheritance tries to combine the show’s central mystery with the goings on in the personal lives of the three siblings at the show’s center.

Chloe seems to have a stable family life with her husband Pete (Adil Ray) and their kids.

Daniel, with nowhere else to turn, borrows money Glen (Kevin Harvey), a loan shark he’s done business with in the past.

Sian is a single mom who’s been going on a lot of bad dates lately, but seems to connect with Nathan (Rory Fleck Byrne) a real estate agent who came by the house to see if they’re putting it on the market.
