When 16 heirs are asked to live in Sunset Towers and all of them are invited to the reading of Samuel W. Westing's will, they get caught up in Westing's game: to find the person (one of the heirs) that murdered him.They each get a partner and a set of clues to solve the mystery. But when the time comes for each group to reveal the murderer, no one gets it right!
