Dan Warren, whose mother disappeared when he was eight, was amazed to find his long forgotten father had included him in his will, not realizing it came with four angry siblings out to get him. One brother has a pistol, another brother has his fists, an attorney sister wants to use the courts to disinherit him, and a third sociopath brother simply wants him out of the way. Any way will do. Adding to the drama, the will stipulated if he expected to receive any inheritance he would need to change his name and move into the family mansion surrounded by his new found protagonists.
Dan has had a hard life. The loss of his mother put him in a founding home until he could find someone to take him in. Old Noah Thompson, a drunken survivor out of the Iron mines of Mount Riga, eventually rescued him. At twenty three years old, Dan still lives with Noah and survives as a maintenance worker in a local factory. The estate lawyer who is touting the will forces Dan to consider a whole new life. His siblings however look at him as a ragged usurper; a nobody who would not be missed if anything happened to him.
The four outraged siblings urge him to be smart about his chances and get out of town as fast as he can. They even offer him money if he left immediately. But, Dan suspects they know what happened to his mother so in spite of their threats decides to remain in the middle of the family, determined to find out what happened.
