Privilege has a price. But who will pay it?

On the eve of her seventieth birthday, Geri gathers her brother's spoilt adult children together on the family's private island and tells them that she's ready to name her successor as CEO of the lucrative global empire founded by their grandfather.

Her announcement triggers a frenzy of suspicion, rivalry and back-stabbing. Each of the three siblings believes the role should go to them - despite the dark secrets that they all harbour.

As Geri uncovers the black heart of her own family, will the best among them win the prize? Or will the heirs to the Chalice crown finally get what they so richly deserve?
