 Synopsis:

The following story is about two brothers.  One brother named Dan works hard and is a very successful millionaire.  The other brother, Brett, is lazy, unsympathetic, and mooches off others to get by.  Dan finds out that he has a fatal disease and that he is going to pass away.  Dan passes away and leaves a video will for his brother, Brett.  Dan promises to leave all of his money to Brett on one condition.  He must acquire the signature of his brother's secretary's oldest first cousin's younger brother's third grade teacher's neighbor's best friend's daughter's hero's only brother.  Dan claims to not to know who these people are and appoints the caretaker of the estate to oversee Brett.  Brett is not allowed to use e-mail, cell phones, planes, or internet to aid him.  He must complete this task within one week or he loses the money. 

Brett believes that this will be an easy task, but it starts to be revealed as extremely difficult and carefully planned by Dan.  He must travel from Chicago to California to Florida and back to Chicago again because each person is carefully spaced out.  He contacts the caretaker of the estate throughout his journey with great frustration as the people he meets take up his valuable time in many ways.  He must paint a man's house, converse with a barfly, and learn of a once homeless teacher's story.  That's the easiest part of his scavenger hunt. 

 Towards the end of his journey, he must confront two important people that are on the list, his deadbeat father he hasn't had contact with since childhood (3rd grade teacher's neighbor's best friend) and his first love (best friend's daughter) he treated poorly who holds the last piece of the puzzle.  Through the journey, Brett learns a lot about himself and is taught one last lesson by his deceased brother.
