Thomas, a 40-something real estate agent with a penchant for fraud, is released from prison. In freedom, a poisoned gift awaits him. Raised as a homebody, he never had a family, and now, of all things, he learns he has a mother who will leave him a large single-family home. The only catch: a downie, his half-brother, it turns out, enjoys lifetime residency rights. To cash in on the property and make a fresh start in Spain, Thomas tries to scare his troublesome brother out of the house. But then family feelings unexpectedly set in and work against his plan.
