Synopsis

Just as they are about to give up on their careers, a pair of struggling playwrights find out that their mentor, the most celebrated murder mystery writer since Agatha Christie, has just died with the script to his upcoming Broadway thriller left unfinished.

Tasked with completing his work in under a week, Mara and Don jump into the story – but once they begin digging into the world of the play, they quickly find themselves trapped inside it.

Can they use their writing skills to solve the mystery and save the play – and themselves?
