The Vultures

The story takes place at
Westmount Estate, on the 20th anniversary of the death of publishing magnate
Simon West. As his six remaining relatives gather for the reading of his will,
the mysterious housekeeper declares, “The relatives are swooping in like a wake
of vultures ready to pick the carcass clean.” When the will is read,
Hunter West is named as the sole heir, on the condition that he doesn’t suffer
from an insanity curse that has plagued the family. As the night progresses and
the storm rages, Hunter’s sanity comes into question and one of the group goes
missing. Who will ultimately inherit
the fortune? Will it be the charming realtor, the handsome male model, the
dimwitted nail technician, the bitter old woman, the gay hairdresser, or the
mild-mannered accountant? Throw in a priceless pocket watch, an androgynous
housekeeper, an escaped mental patient, and a pair of reunited lovers and the
result is murder, with a hefty dose of laughs.
