A chilling phone call shatters the brothers' opulent dinner, delivering news of their estranged sister Milly's death. Can this really be true, or is it just another of Milly's devious schemes? For years, Milly has been estranged from her six brothers, each successful in his own right, yet burdened by past resentments and lingering questions about her disappearance during a family crisis. As a prominent movie star scoffs and a respected academic expresses disbelief, they recall how their adopted sister, Stephanie, stepped in to help the family. Now, confronted with the stark reality of Milly's passing, they must confront the complex web of emotions and half-truths that defined their relationship with her. Jordan, the eldest brother and a shrewd businessman, decides to investigate. Skepticism hangs heavy in the air as he and Jeffrey venture to the hospital, the others reluctantly trailing behind. The sterile scent of antiseptic fills their nostrils as they're led to the chilling morgue, the nurse eager to ensure they acknowledge Milly's body. There, beneath a cold sheet, lies the undeniable truth – Milly is gone. The sight of her pallid face forces a reckoning, a silent acknowledgment of the sister they had dismissed and misunderstood. Burdened with guilt and regret, Jordan takes charge of the cremation arrangements. He requests Milly’s personal effects from the hospital, leading them to a poignant encounter with an elderly woman, a fellow patient who knew Milly well. The woman’s warm recognition and heartfelt praise of the brothers, echoing Milly’s own words, sends shockwaves through them. She reveals Milly spoke fondly of her accomplished siblings, a stark contrast to the resentful image they had harbored. The elderly woman then hands over an old iron box, entrusted to her by Milly. Inside, they discover a small sum of money, a testament to a life far removed from the wealth and prestige they enjoy. As they grapple with this unexpected revelation, a harsh realization dawns: perhaps they never truly knew Milly at all. Will this discovery change the brothers and their family forever, or is it simply too late to mend the fractured bonds of kinship in this gripping **family drama**? What secrets lie hidden within that iron box, and what was Milly's life truly like?
