Jim Novak was never a good man. In the last years of his life he finds himself dependent on his daughter and her family. A cowardly soldier, an absentee father, and an abusive husband, his failures have come back to haunt him. He'll never discover what real dangers live with him. "Inheritance" is a supernatural drama of Charles Dickens spirits with a Hitchcock twist.
