Day 1 · Ashford City

The richest man in town is dead.
And everyone you trust is lying.

You arrive in Ashford the day after the murder. Victor Ashford — the city's patriarch, founder, and largest landlord — was found in his penthouse. The papers already have a suspect: Bianca Morano, the sorority girl with the famous father and the bad alibi. The trial starts in twenty-six days.

You can talk to anyone. The bartender. The detective. The witness who changed her story. The boyfriend who didn't show up. You can follow them home. You can call them at 3 a.m. You can fall in love with the wrong person.

The verdict is real. Your choices decide who walks free.
