It’s five years before Katie flees to the Caribbean, and this time her journey takes her closer to home—back to her law school reunion. Katie arrives with Emily as her plus-one, while Michele rounds out the group, expecting an evening of nostalgia… and a little fun.

But the reunion quickly goes off the rails. Too many cocktails, strange former classmates, and a murder that literally takes the stage at a murder-mystery dinner theater before Act One is even over. Meanwhile, fallen-star Maggie misses her chance at redemption in the leading role, Ava gleefully steps in—both onstage and off—and Laura, on a stopover between races with gifted tickets, watches the chaos unfold from ringside.

As the women’s paths twist, intersect, and reveal hidden connections, each holds a piece of the puzzle—whether she realizes it or not. And the murderer? Closer than any of them would dare imagine.
