The series opens on the funeral of King Vance, CEO and patriarch. His son Hale sits in the back row, hollow-eyed in a wrinkled black suit, watching as mourners shake his uncle Claude's hand like he's already the boss — because he is. Within three weeks of the funeral, Claude has absorbed the company, and within six, he has married Gert in a quiet ceremony that the press calls tasteful and Hale calls unforgivable. Hale has been given a corner office, a generous allowance, and a polite but firm suggestion that he return to finish his MBA. He doesn't. He drinks. He stares at his father's old watch. His best friend Rex Horatio arrives from out of town and stays on the couch. That night, a security guard named Marcus at the Vance Capital building contacts Rex with something strange — the building's after-hours camera footage from the night King Vance died shows a second person in the parking garage. The footage is corrupted. The timestamp is wrong. But the silhouette is unmistakably Claude.
