But when Frankie studies the game''s contents, she notices a striking resemblance between the ''murder victim'' and missing twenty-two-year-old Lydia Callin. As Frankie and her team investigate, a series of grisly crimes connected to the game are discovered across Dublin city and Lydia''s involvement with a shadowy network of murder mystery players becomes clear.
