Plot

Three years after the events of The Ultimate Gift, Jason Stevens (Logan Bartholomew) is running the Stevens Foundation after inheriting the trust of his grandfather, Red Stevens. Planning to propose to Alexia (Ali Hills), Jason is interrupted by a notice of a lawsuit by his aunts and uncles members vying for control of the foundation (and thus the inheritance left by Red). So focused on fighting the lawsuit and the continued pursuit of his wealth, Jason does not have time to listen to Alexia's announcement that she has decided to become a disaster nurse in Haiti for six months. Alexia leaves a note with Jason who reads the news of Alexia's departure with shock. Going to his grandfather's friend and lawyer, Mr. Hamilton (Bill Cobbs) for advice, Mr. Hamilton reveals that his grandfather had written a personal journal that he encourages Jason to read for advice.

The rest of the film is a frame story covering the life of Red Stevens and his pursuit of his wealth.
