A traumatic incident at age 16 thrust Morgan Sheppard into the public eye. Now he is the host of a popular TV detective show. Brilliant on screen, self-destructive off it, numbing himself with pills, alcohol.

​

He wakes in a luxury hotel suite, alongside five other strangers. No one can remember how they got there. Confusion turns to horror when they discover a dead body in the bathtub. Morgan recognises the victim as a man from his own past.

​

A concealed figure lays out the rules: One of them is the murderer. Morgan has three hours to identify the killer. If he succeeds, they walk free. If he fails, they all die.  As suspicion spreads, it becomes clear that each of the other guests has a connection to the dead man.

With all exits sealed and the clock ticking down, Morgan is forced to investigate while battling withdrawal and buried guilt. Accusations escalate, alliances fracture, and flashbacks reveal clues.

Morgan realises this is not just a murder mystery but a reckoning, one that will force him to confront the cost of his past actions and question where justice ends and punishment begins.

A real-time, locked-room thriller, think KNIVES OUT meets SAW.
