On his 80th birthday, media magnate Logan Roy (Brian Cox), whose imminent retirement was thought to be a given, shocks his family by announcing he's staying on indefinitely as CEO of Waystar Royco. The news shatters his son, Kendall (Jeremy Strong), the heir apparent, who's in the midst of negotiating the purchase of a digital-media venture founded by a slick operator named Lawrence (Rob Yang).

After an impromptu softball game, tempers flare as Logan's other children -- Roman (Kieran Culkin), Shiv (Sarah Snook) and Connor (Alan Ruck) -- raise objections over Logan's intentions, including his desire to change the way his eventual successor will be chosen.
