The Ultimate Gift

DramaFamilyRomance118 min

When his wealthy grandfather dies, Jason Stevens expects a fortune and gets a challenge instead: he must complete a series of tasks before any inheritance is his. Drew Fuller is Jason, a young heir pushed into work, setbacks, and uncomfortable lessons by instructions left behind from beyond the grave. James Garner’s grandfather looms over every step of the process, while Bill Cobbs is among the people charged with carrying out the will. What starts as a fight over money gradually turns into a reckoning with family, responsibility, and the lives Jason has kept at a distance.
