Every year a group of college friends travel to a remote cabin for some fun and games. After dinner, the friends decide to play a game called “What If” where they collaborate on what it takes to commit the perfect murder. At first the newcomer is a little hesitant, but they assure her it’s only a hypothetical game. When one of them is later murdered following the rules decided in the game, the friends realize that someone has taken the game too far.
A suspenseful script that incorporates visual playwriting techniques to keep audiences on the edge of their seat and guessing until the very end.
