- Jeff, along with Suzanne, accompany a blind man James to an out of town reading of a will. The gathering consists of Hollywood types who stand to inherit one million dollars if they complete a puzzle but a murder interferes with the game.
- Through a reference from his Honolulu counterpart Tom Lopaka, Jeff is hired by Wilson James, a former movie director who had to retire when he went blind. James is one of a handful of people invited to a reading of a special side will in video form at the mansion of recently deceased movie director J. Cedric Usher. James started in the business together with J. Cedric thirty years ago and was requested to bring someone along to the reading as an assistant due to the unusual nature of this side will. While other former movie associates have ended up working for J. Cedric in his personal life, the others invited are primarily other associates still active in the movie business: Hollywood legend Clara Moore, who starred in every one of his pictures; brooding New York method actor Walter Legal, who, despite also appearing in many of his later movies, considered J. Cedric a hypocrite; Walter's sister Amelia Legal, whose life is controlled by Walter; and costume designer Robin Wells and his wife Lynn Wells, the pair who spend all their income to consume vast quantities of alcohol. One unexpected attendee forced to stay at the mansion out of circumstance is Suzanne. The nature of the side will: J. Cedric has left different sets of movie related clues for each of them - the Wells working as a pair, Jeff to help James, and Suzanne who ends up helping Amelia - as to the combination of his wall safe, the one or pair who is able to figure out the combination to the safe to get an additional $1 million, winner take all. If no one figures it out within six hours, the money will be donated to J. Cedric's favorite charities instead. After the end of the contest, J. Cedric, in another prerecorded message, will explain his rationale in having this side will with these specific people involved. In addition to using his investigative skills to help James, Jeff may have to change his focus when it seems that someone is trying to kill the contest participants, arguably to get to the $1 million in a different way.—Huggo
