A fight breaks out in the Charles family. In the center stands a prized heirloom piano that separates the two brothers. Meanwhile, the brothers (John David Washington) plan to sell the house and build up their family fortune. Meanwhile, the younger sister (Danielle Deadwyler) will do anything to preserve the only vestige of her family’s heritage. Their uncle (Samuel L.
