Murder Mystery Synopis:

Colton Steele—music producer, influencer, and viral mastermind—has just pulled off his most twisted stunt yet. He’s gathered a handpicked mix of creators at his latest venture: a content house like no other. Each guest arrives expecting the collab of a lifetime—a record deal, a brand partnership, or inside dirt on a rival. But the second they step inside, it’s clear something is off. The mansion is locked down. No phones. No Wi-Fi. No way out. And Colton? Nowhere to be found. Instead, a pre-recorded video plays, revealing the truth: they’re in a high-stakes content competition. The rules? Unclear. The challenges? Cutthroat. The stakes? Way higher than they realize. Then, Colton does something unexpected—he starts exposing them. Turns out, he made secret offers to each of them. A record deal. A viral collab. A career-ending scandal. Now, he’s broadcasting those deals in front of everyone, forcing them to face their own greed, desperation, and betrayals. Tensions snap, and before the night is over—someone ends up dead. Panic sets in. They scramble to figure out who among them is a killer. And then, another screen flickers on. They’ve been live-streamed this entire time. Millions have been watching. Commenting. Clipping. Reacting. But the murder itself? Not on the stream. Just the aftermath—the body, the screams, the cover-ups. The police think it’s just another staged social media stunt—until Colton, still unseen but in full control, starts dropping the unedited footage piece by piece. With every new upload, the truth edges closer to exposure. The influencers are trapped in a house-turned-crime-scene, and the moment Colton posts the full clip, the cops will swarm. But until then, the murderer is still inside—watching, waiting, and ready to eliminate anyone who gets too close to the truth. And in this house? The content never stops… and neither do the lies.
