The money, however, comes with one catch: the siblings must spend the weekend together at the family beach house on the Cayman Islands. Daniel sees this as the perfect opportunity to reconnect with his estranged family and introduce them to his fiancé, Emily. Meanwhile, his family sees this as the perfect opportunity to bump-off Daniel and take his share of the inheritance. As the bodies stack up and plans go awry, one thing becomes painfully clear: Daniel’s going to find out what family means, even if it kills him.

Stories Not To Be Told shines the comedic spotlight on those kinds of situations we’ve all found ourselves in, but which we’d rather no one ever knew about, or which we wish we could forget about altogether. Meeting that unexpected person, suffering a public humiliation or making an absurd decision. Five stories, a sardonic, yet sympathetic ode to humans’ inability to govern our own emotions and not be able to stop, even though we know we should.
