Saladin and Aleck Foster live a peaceful, debt-free middle-class life until the mere promise of a thirty-thousand-dollar legacy enters their world. As they spend their nights mentally investing stocks and giving away millions in phantom charity, the illusion turns into an obsession. Their quiet virtues crumble under the weight of greed, leading to a tragic-comic downfall that exposes the bitter irony of human ambition and the danger of chasing paper fortunes. ## Reviews No reviews yet.
