The connection to their tortured history is one of only passing fascination. The reunion turns deadly when the elders have to make good on an ancient pact with a spirit of an ancestor.
Now, it’s this generation’s turn to make the ultimate sacrifice. It is their duty and their destiny, but they won't give up without a fight to survive.

“The Inheritance features A-list cast members, Adriane Lenox, Andre DeShields, D.B Woodside, Darrin Dewitt Henson, Rochelle Aytes, Golden Brooks, and Keith David.

O’Hara has written films for Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee, Jon Avnet, Richard Zanuck, HBO, ABC, Universal Pictures, Sony Pictures, Fine Line Cinema and Artisan Entertainment. His impressive accomplishments include Rockefeller Fellowship, TCG Extended Collaboration Grant, NEA/TCG Fellowship, a Van Lier Fellow at New Dramatists, the First Mark Taper Forum's Sherwood Award, and the TANNE Award for Exceptional Body of Work.
