Every fortune hides a cost. In 1868 Dublin, the death of Sir Benjamin Guinness doesn’t just leave behind a brewery—it leaves behind a battlefield. His four children—Arthur, Edward, Anne, and Ben—suddenly find themselves bound by inheritance yet divided by ambition. Each carries secrets that could tip the balance, not only for the family but for the empire that bears their name.

As the Guinness legacy spreads beyond Ireland, the struggle inside the family threatens to consume it. Because when the stakes are this high, blood may not be thicker than stout.

Look closer, and you’ll see the same truth in any family empire: wealth can unite, but it can just as easily divide. The real legacy isn’t in what’s built—it’s in whether the family survives it.
