The Descendants background

The Descendants

After a devastating boat crash, a wealthy patriarch embarks on a life-changing quest to mend his relationships with his daughters while his wife's fate remains uncertain.

Matt King's family has owned 25,000 acres of undeveloped land in Hawaii for generations. The family's trust is set to expire in seven years, sparking debate about whether to sell the land, which could alter Kauai's landscape. Matt, a Honolulu lawyer, chooses to live modestly despite the family's wealth. However, his life is complicated by marital issues, a boating accident that leaves his wife Elizabeth in a coma, and rebellious teenage daughter Alex. When Elizabeth is declared brain dead, Matt must confront the family's dynamics and the land sale, leading to difficult decisions about his future.
