Encerrados en una habitación de un hotel, sin escapatoria, y sin ninguna pista de cómo llegaron ahí. En la bañera, el cuerpo de un hombre al que todos ellos conocían. Alguien lo asesinó. Alguno de los que están dentro de la habitación. Tienen tres horas para averiguarlo. O todos ellos morirán.

At 11 years old, Morgan Sheppard solved the murder of a teacher when everyone else believed it to be a suicide. The publicity surrounding the case laid the foundation for his reputation as a modern-day Sherlock Holmes. He parlayed that fame into a gig as TV’s “resident detective,” solving the more typical tawdry daytime talk show mysteries. Until, that is, Sheppard wakes up handcuffed to a bed in a hotel room. Around him, five strangers are slowly waking up, as well. Soon they discover a corpse in the bathtub and Sheppard is challenged to put his deductive skills to the test.

But sitting in a cell awaiting trial, Matthew maintains his innocence.

One day, at the radio station, she is playing around with the equipment and finds a frequency that was never there before.
