My Kingdom

A modern story, inspired by King Lear, set in contemporary Liverpool. A powerful dynasty headed by a charismatic, manipulative father falls when he decides to hand over his criminal empire to his three corrupt and power-hungry daughters. Kath runs a brothel down by the docks, Tracy owns a soccer team, and Jo--a former junkie and prostitute--rejects her inheritance, pitting her sisters against each other. —Sujit R. Varma
