The author's dysfunctional family and staff were present at his birthday, making everyone a suspect.

Craig must throughly investigate everyone and see through their lies as he suspects foul play despite the initial ruling of suicide.

The suspects, who have also gathered to hear the authors will, are portrayed by an all-star cast that includes Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Evans, Don Johnson, Michael Shannon, Toni Collette, Ana de Armas and Katherine Langford.

"The family is truly desperate. When people get desperate, the knives come out. This is a twisted web and we are not finished untangling it," Craig says.
