Description

Aspiring musician Pete Hamilton has nothing in common with his older brother, Leo, an aerospace engineer, until their late father leaves them the family farm, a sprawling dairy operation in Vermont. Pete wants to hold on; Leo wants to sell. All the embattled brothers can agree on is to skydive over the fields and sprinkle their father’s ashes—a grand gesture the old man would have loved. But when the plan goes terribly wrong, only one unexpected eyewitness can see what’s really going on.

For two brothers, an inheritance triggers a dark chain of events in a thrilling short story of loyalty and revenge.
