Written by Andrew Crabtree and directed by Anthony Jerjen, Inherit the Viper follows two siblings, Kip, played by Josh Hartnett, and Josie, played by Margarita Levieva. Dealing with opioids isn’t just their family business; it’s their only means of survival. 

When a deal goes fatally wrong, Kip decides he wants out. But Kip’s attempt to escape his family’s legacy ignites a powder keg of violence and betrayal, imperiling Kip, Josie, and their younger brother, Boots, played by Owen Teague. 

Stories involving families are searing and make a compelling situation for a crime-thriller. The movie also includes Valorie Curry, Chandler Riggs, Brad William Henke, Tara Buck, Dash Mihok, and Bruce Dern.
