The Goan Indian D’Costa family descends into glorious chaos after patriarch Don Theodore’s death. His widow Rita, who never loved him, launches a campaign to install their gravedigger son Jason as the new Don, bribing tenants, and manipulating family members. Meanwhile, her pregnant daughter-in-law Annette juggles a secret lover, stolen jewelry, and an accidental shooting, while Inspector Gaitonde – allergic to family drama – stumbles upon the D’Costas’ most absurd secret beneath Jason’s manicured graveyard. As real estate schemes collapse, guns are mishandled, and a Catholic-Hindu wedding spirals into hullabaloo, Rita recognizes the madness of the patriarchal power game she had been playing, finding unexpected solidarity with the tenants she once chose to exploit. The D’Costa Family is a wild ride packed with over-the-top characters and crazy twists that come fast and unexpected – sometimes emotional, sometimes macabre, but always gripping.’A darkly comedic family caper filled with gangsters, gold, and Goan grit, The D’Costa Family is a madcap saga of greed, deception, and one last shot at legacy.’ — Jesal Shah, Filmmaker’From the very first page, the story keeps you hooked, filled with dark humor, warmth, and an undeniable charm.’ – Priyanka Tanwar, Filmmaker’Rochelle masterfully crafts each character with such rich detail that they leap off the page, making their world impossible to resist.’ – Namrata, Literary Consultant
