THE ULTIMATE LEGACY
When a wealthy woman approaches Hamilton’s firm to construct a legal inheritance process similar to that of Red Stevens’ due to her terminal illness, Hamilton and Miss Hastings enlist Jason Stevens as a special advisor. Soon after the woman dies and her wild grandson, Joey, inherits her fortune and the famous Anderson House — with some stipulations: He must agree to live at Anderson House for a year and complete a series of ‘gifts’ in order to receive his inheritance in full.
Skeptical and frustrated, Joey decides to play along with the demands of the will. In the process finds himself enjoying life in a whole new way.
