From writer-director Rian Johnson comes the most chilling chapter yet in the Knives Out saga — and this time, the game is personal.
“Some cases end in justice. This one ends in resurrection.”
When world-famous detective Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) is summoned to a remote monastery-turned-estate in the Irish countryside, he finds a funeral already in motion… but the body is missing. The deceased? A controversial tech billionaire with a messianic following and more enemies than disciples.
What begins as a simple missing person case quickly spirals into something far darker — a twisted ritual, a secret society, and a trail of bodies pointing to a truth no one wants uncovered.
Blanc must navigate a tangled web of deceit involving a fallen pop icon, a disgraced priest, a genius hacker, and a grieving daughter who may be both victim and suspect. Every room hides a lie. Every guest wears a mask. And someone… or something… wants this mystery to stay buried.
With themes of faith, grief, and rebirth woven into a razor-sharp whodunit, Wake Up Dead Man challenges everything we think we know about the living — and the dead.
