The story

In 1870 Russia, Fyodor Karamazov, a dissipated and unscrupulous businessman, manipulates three legitimate sons, Dmitri, an army officer; Ivan, a writer; and Alexey, a monk; as well as a bastard son, Pavel Smerdyakov, who lives like a servant in Fyodor’s home. Impractical with money, Dmitri spends on drinking, partying, and women whatever money he can wrest from his father from an inheritance his mother left him. Before giving Dimitri any money, Fyodor forces him to sign a promissory note.
