Wake Up Dead Men  – Details

The atmosphere shifts quickly when the legendary detective Angus Doyle arrives. Determined to uncover the truth hidden behind carefully rehearsed stories.
Doyle begins peeling through the family’s polished image. The elegant daughter fighting to maintain her reputation, the resentful son still living in his father’s shadow, the housekeeper who knows more than she lets on, and the distant cousins carrying years of silent grudges-  all become suspects.

Each character offers a motive, but their alibis only deepen the mystery.
Clues slowly surface. A missing page from the will, late-night phone calls, and a hidden safe containing documents that challenge the family’s narrative. Doyle’s interrogation style is calm yet piercing, exposing contradictions and buried emotions. The movie builds its tension not just through plot, but through subtle human moments—strained glances, trembling voices, and half-truths spoken with confidence.
In the final confrontation, Doyle gathers everyone in the drawing room. The shocking twist? The murderer is not the loudest, angriest, or most obvious suspect. it’s the quiet cousin long dismissed as harmless.

Their motive stems from years of injustice and betrayal, not greed alone. The reveal shatters the family’s façade and exposes a legacy built on secrets.
