Show Summary On All Hallow’s Eve of 1995, a dinner party is held at the Upstate New York manor of Dr. Julian Fox: the enigmatic millionaire and owner of the Sunrise Sentinel, known for its dedication to exposing corruption amidst the high ranking members of government. By the end of the night, the media mogul would be dead, and not a soul alive can tell what really happened. Now, it’s up to Detective Inspector Ethel Carter and her dedicated team of officers to sort out the truth locked within the twisting halls of memory. The catch? All of the suspects are firmly convinced that they themselves are to blame. Join us for an evening of mystery, comedy, and unreliable narrators in this subverted take on the classic Whodunnit genre.
