In contemporary Manhattan, Eric and Toby (Andrew Burnap) are 30-somethings on the cusp of an engagement. They then meet an older man haunted by the past and a younger man hungry for a future. The lives of three generations interlink and collide with explosive results. Brilliantly re-envisioning E.M. Forster’s masterpiece "Howards End," "The Inheritance" asks how much we owe those who lived before us and questions the role we must play for future generations.
