Premise
The series revolves around a trio of estranged siblings living in New Hampshire, the Goodwins: Henry, the oldest child, is an overachieving surgeon with an overabundant ego; Chloe, the middle child, is a former child mathematical prodigy who became popular in high school and abandoned academia for a career as a struggling actress; and Jimmy, the youngest child, is a career petty criminal with a string of convictions who has to sneak into his pre-teen daughter's bedroom at night to visit her. The siblings return home for their father's funeral. His attorney April Cho informs them that their father's will awards them $23 million, but only if they agree to compete in a series of games of their father's devising. The games are designed to force them to confront their personal failings, recall their childhoods, and bring them together as a family once again. When the siblings resist, April informs them that their father anticipated their reaction, and therefore a fourth individual will be involved in the games, a complete stranger named Elijah, who collects part of the remaining inheritance every time the siblings fail to follow their father's instructions.Cast
