The game of lies begins again.
Rian Johnson returns with the third and most chilling chapter of his acclaimed Knives Out saga. This time, the brilliant yet eccentric detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is summoned to a sprawling Gothic estate in the European countryside, where a powerful philanthropist is discovered dead under mysterious circumstances during an elite charity retreat.
The glittering halls of old money and prestige quickly become a cage of suspicion. Every guest — heirs, lovers, rivals, and outsiders — hides something they’re desperate to protect. As whispers turn to accusations, Blanc must untangle a web of deceit, betrayal, and hidden agendas that cut far deeper than appearances suggest.
What begins as a locked-room mystery soon expands into a larger conspiracy that stretches far beyond the estate’s walls, pulling Blanc into a world of shadowy power, obsession, and moral corruption. With each revelation, the danger escalates — and so does the realization that the truth itself can be deadlier than any lie.
Darkly funny, razor-sharp, and deliciously twisted, Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery is a haunting reminder that in Benoit Blanc’s universe, every truth cuts — and no secret stays buried forever.
