A family jewelry business is in crisis.

Meanwhile, a documentary filmmaker has been invited to create content and promote the business on social media, so the family's dirty laundry is now embarrassingly on view. Which skeletons in whose closets will come to light? What romantic and financial shenanigans are brewing? And what will the personal and financial fallout be from the rapid transformation of the family business?
