Sixteen individuals who are mysteriously chosen to live in the Sunset Tower apartment building on the shore of Lake Michigan, Wisconsin, come together to hear the will of wealthy industrialist Samuel W. Westing. The will takes the form of a puzzle, dividing up the sixteen heirs into eight pairs, giving each pair a different set of clues, and challenging the heirs to solve the mystery of which of the sixteen of them killed Samuel W. Westing. As an incentive each heir is given $10,000 to play the game. Whoever solves the mystery will inherit Westing's $200,000,000 fortune. Different friendships are made and broken among the heirs as they try to solve the clues. |
