Every morning millions of Americans open their daily paper turning first to the obituaries. In Chicago a group of young friends, drawn to each other by this very habit, solve a series of grisly murders by following clues found in the obituaries...

Killian Reed, a young reporter for a hip Chicago newspaper awakens to a hangover from a night of celebrating; he and his friends, a loose club of obituary-readers, have solved a murder. But there's little time to rest on their laurels as a body is found just off Lake Michigan . Reed and his friends try to solve a series of more grisly murders that are seemingly related. Following false leads and real clues, the two trajectories -- Reed, who is running from his own past, and the killer -- collide in a heart wrenching climax.
