The Three Heirs

Three people receive an invitation to journey to Philadelphia to be present for the reading of a Will in which they are named as beneficiaries.

Emily Thordeaux is anxious to come back to Philadelphia to hear the reading of the late Delilah Neustat's Will and discover her connection to this benefactress, a woman she has never heard of nor met.

Lilith Breat is also surprised that she is called to the reading. Tragedy has cost her everyone she once loved, how could she possibly be related to someone who is a resident of a city she has never set foot in?

Graham Lestor, an Englishman new to America, is puzzled by his invitation but decides to attend the reading of the Will to satisfy his curiosity.

Now they are assembled together-the three beneficiaries, the lawyer, and a mysterious observer. The air is tense with the conflicts of the past. How are they all connected in this web of drama and why has the dead woman brought them together?
