Lucille

On one side of the table are Vivian’s daughters, Lucille and Rennie, as well as Lucille’s only child, Madeline.

Lucille, herself a lawyer and seemingly spoiling for a fight as soon as she sees the Dengs in her childhood home, immediately challenges this.

Why would her mother give Elaine the house when Lucille and Rennie grew up there, and the land belonged to their father’s family for generations?

When Lucille gets a preliminary toxicology report from her mother’s autopsy, she learns that the results are “inconclusive,” and becomes convinced that Elaine must have poisoned Vivian, and sets out to use her week in the house to prove it.

Suffice to say that Vivian’s secrets — as well as those of Lucille, Rennie and Elaine — come spilling out, changing, at times, the lens through which we see their actions.
