Max had spent much time at the estate in his youth, and Uncle Henry was one of the few people that Max admired. His plan: sell quickly. But, upon reaching the estate, memories of his happy childhood at the estate give him second thoughts. Problems arise when he finds out that the estate is rundown, the wine is virtually undrinkable, and Christie (Abbie Cornish) arrives on the scene claiming to be Uncle Henry's illegitimate daughter.
