| Eliot Rosewater is the president of the Rosewater Foundation, the 14th largest family fortune in America. He became president simply by being the oldest and closest heir of the foundation's creator. He has complete and total control of the money until he either dies or is proven insane. Eliot Rosewater has a passion for running volunteer fire departments and helping people who can't help themselves. This, in the eyes of the wealthy, especially a particular young lawyer named Norman Mushari, is enough to prove Eliot Rosewater's insanity. Unfortunately, Eliot Rosewater has never produced an heir. If he is relieved of his office of president, the job will fall to a very distant relative, Fred Rosewater, an insurance salesman in Pisquontuit, Massachusettes. | ||
