My lead is Eli, a 14-year-old boy on vacation in North Carolina with his family. They have traveled there from Utah for a family reunion.
His objective is to heal family wounds by re-uniting a long-dead ancestor with the rest of his family.
He is confronted by his extended family and family friends, led by a rich great-uncle, who is intent on protecting his place in the family inheritance and hierarchy and willing to kill to maintain it.
The ending will be a knockout when the whole family learns that the neighboring family, with which there is a multi-generational feud, are, in fact, cousins and rightful heirs to the great-uncle's fortune.
