What You Wish for
Who does your life belong to anyway? You, your family, the government, or God? Miles, his girlfriend, Colleen, and his brother, Mel, confront all these questions by walking a slippery line between personal ethics and the law. But events really ramp up when the police find Mel's body and a suicide note under dubious circumstances, with Miles and two of Mel's friends treated as suspects. The resulting cloud brings in Mel's embittered ex-wife and their two sons, and when his will confirms that Gina, Mel's girlfriend, Miles' son Jason, and Miles himself are the only heirs, his ex goes ballistic and pressures the DA for a murder indictment. Miles, meanwhile, remains haunted by his wife's death from cancer five years earlier.
