Story

July, 1935. Wealthy Malcolm Villensey’s fortune has been wiped out overnight. He and his starlet wife, Veronica, have escaped aboard the SS Hook for a new life in America—but Mrs. Villensey has other plans. And one little push is all it takes.

- The clock is ticking. In eight hours the boat will dock and you’ll need to answer for Malcolm’s whereabouts.

- No crime is perfect. There are always witnesses. But how will you find out who saw what, without giving the game away?

- No one is innocent. Every passenger has something to hide. Can you turn their secrets to your advantage?

- Suicide isn’t enough. Malcolm had a generous life insurance policy, but you can only claim the cash by framing someone else for murder.
