Family drama takes a new turn when an ancestral home becomes the bone of contention. Our protagonist, let’s call him ‘John’, finds himself in a moral dilemma when his mother wants to give away their family’s ancestral home to his adopted sister, Jane. While Jane is legally his mother’s daughter, his father never adopted her. The house, a symbol of their father’s legacy, holds sentimental value for John and his brother who spent their childhood summers there. Now, the question arises: Should Jane, who was never legally adopted by their father, have a claim on this piece of history? Let’s delve into this emotional rollercoaster.
