As the case unravels, the once-casual group of sleuths dives headfirst into their first real murder mystery. The trailer shows the team using their past life experiences and wits to chase leads, analyse clues, and interview suspects. As the mystery deepens, they begin to realise that nearly everyone around them could be a suspect.
