A lawyer tells a group of boys about a tontine: a thousand pounds is invested for each child, and the last survivor takes the whole sum with its interest. Sixty-three years later, two brothers, Masterman and Joseph Finsbury, are the last survivors, living beside each other in Victorian London. Masterman has not spoken to his despised brother in years, but he sends his medical student grandson, Michael Finsbury, to summon Joseph.
