This contemporary rendition of the prodigal son reveals how a modern family battles over money and wrestles with resentment and regret. Siblings Tony, Diana and Fletcher meet their deceased father's lawyer to discuss their inheritance. Diana is livid that Fletcher is in attendance. The three children were given half a million dollars by their father to seed them in business ventures. Fletcher, the youngest, left home and quickly squandered his half million even giving some of the money away. Tony and Diana honored their father by successfully growing their share into many millions. When Fletcher realized his mistakes, he humbly returned to reconcile with his father who joyously celebrated his return. As the will is read, we learn that their father leaves some money to Tony and Diana, but they are sorely disappointed at the amount. But they are left speechless when Fletcher is bequeathed the remainder of the estate worth over 2.1 billion dollars. Tony and Diana sit in shock as the lawyer reads "This boy has managed to find the heart my other children lacked.." It's about relationship-it's never about stuff.
