SYNOPSIS
The Benefactor. Five years after an eccentric and hedonistic philanthropist survives a car accident that kills his two married best friends, his overwhelming guilt remains and the pain prevents him from moving on. Re-connecting with his friends’ orphaned daughter – newly-wed and pregnant Olivia – Franny ingratiates hers and her husband’s lives in order to relieve his pain and recreate the friendship he lost. Compensating for the loss of his old friends, Franny seemingly altruistically supplies his new friends with limitless financial support. It isn’t long before his stress and grief resurfaces and his addictions lead to his inevitable downward spiral.
