A luxury cruise ship. A bestselling crime novelist. A week-long murder mystery where everyone has a role to play.

The rules are simple: stay in character, follow the clues, and figure out who the killer is.

Then someone actually dies.

At first, the passengers assume the body is just another elaborate part of the game. But this victim was never supposed to die—and the evidence left behind doesn’t match anything in the script.

Suddenly, no one knows where the game ends and the real investigation begins.
