Amid the pomp and circumstance of England's aristocracy, a puzzling tale of mistaken identity and inheritance unfolds in Splitting Heirs. When a duke draws his last breath, his immense fortune, business empire, and prestigious title are bequeathed to an American, whom he believes to be his long-lost son, found and returned. However, this American isn't the only one staking a claim to the inheritance. Halfway across the world, an Englishman who has been raised by a Hindi family in the bustling heart of London begins to question his identity. He becomes convinced that he is, in fact, the rightful heir, having been mistakenly abandoned as an infant. The plot thickens as the Englishman's resentment escalates towards his American counterpart, who has not only become his boss but also his unlikely friend. To add fuel to the fire, the American has also won the affection of a woman whom the Englishman covertly desires. The ensuing comedy of errors and clash of cultures provides a humorous, engaging backdrop to this tale of mislaid lineage and disputed legacy. Will the true son eventually reclaim his birthright, or will the imposter continue to live a life of unearned luxury?
