When the LAW 101 professor at Great South University doesn't show up to the last lecture of the semester, a student decides to turn their evening lecture into a fun affair by suggesting a little game of 'murder in the dark'. When someone takes the game literally and a student is found dead, it is up to them and the detective in charge of the case to find out who is guilty of the murder.
The detective is faced with one dilemma; fifty-four students played the game, and with nothing to narrow the suspect list down to, every single person in that class is a suspect.
When Jane Madarang's neighbor Natalie kills herself and leaves behind cryptic instructions, it's up to Jane and her classmates to unearth deadly secrets.
