A sophisticated murder-mystery thriller that weaponizes a parlor game into a deadly cat-and-mouse hunt, blending cerebral puzzle-solving with paranoia and hidden motives among wealthy, morally compromised friends.

A year after Sheila is killed in a hit-and-run, her multimillionaire husband invites a group of friends to spend a week on his yacht playing a scavenger hunt-style mystery game—but the game turns out to be all too real and all too deadly.
