Daniel (Matthew Macfadyen) is a long-lost writer and has been living in the shadow of his famous brother Robert (Lapert Graves). He was silently shouldering the responsibility of supporting his parents. He hosted his father's funeral this time, but was also overwhelmed by his brother. The original solemn and sacred funeral was even more messed up by the cousin's fiance, poor worm Simon (Alan Tudyk), who ingested LSD by mistake. But a bigger crisis is behind: a mysterious dwarf man (Peter Dinklage) shows up and blackmails Daniel with evidence that destroys all his father's reputation. It turns out that Daniel's father was gay, and this secret is about to be revealed after his death. Daniel is played by Matthew Macfadyen.
