In Memoriam

In Memoriam is the story of Julien, Judith, Mathieu, and Lucile—siblings who have felt like orphans for as long as they can remember. Their mother, Mathilde, took her own life when they were all still young—and each one in turn then broke off contact with their incredibly wealthy father, Paul-Émile, believing him to be at the root of the tragedy. Following the death of their father, the children, their spouses, and a mysterious stranger are all invited to the reading of his will.

Their only hope of getting their hands on his $84 million fortune is to take part in a series of challenges he has contrived to determine which one of his children might win his inheritance.
