The two oldest grandsons, Dennis and Edward, have inherited a house equally from their family member. While Dennis wishes to honor their late relative's intention of keeping the house within the family, Edward is eager to sell it. This disagreement has caused tension between the brothers, as Dennis believes selling would betray the deceased's wishes.

Dennis recently appeared at the house despite a busy schedule at the university, indicating the urgency of the situation. However, any selling plans rely on Mr. Mira's consent, which complicates matters further. The conflict between Dennis and Edward underscores the challenge of balancing personal desires with family legacy.
