The story so far
Everything you need before watchingThe family is still together after the funeral when the lawyer opens Mac's will in a strange room, at a strange time. He wanted every child present. The estate goes to his wife; the others get checks. Then he names his oldest son. Frank is left nothing but disgust for the men he loves, and shame that he still carries the Bledsoe name. He walks out. Someone already knows he is never coming back.
