Just before she dies, the world-famous artist Veronika Grønnegaard gives a piece of paper to Signe, a young woman who after 22 years has discovered that Veronika is her mother. It is written on the paper that Signe inherits the large house and matching estate. According to his son Frederik, this goes against all forms of justice. He is convinced that the house belongs to him. Frederik starts a grueling legal battle with Gro, his half-sister, and Emil, his brother who runs a resort in Thailand.
