The story so far
The evening
With friends like these, who needs enemies?
As always, the gang have gathered at the coffee shop, but this time under very different circumstances…
On a break from their usual romantic entanglements, they have become murder suspects! A body has been found floating in the famous Central Park fountain. Could they BE in any more trouble?!
The line-up

Clad in a leather jacket, black tee and blue jeans, could this always hungry schmoozer also have an appetite for murder?
Any gender

In homemade jewellery and a tie-dye top, could this kooky free spirit be set to slaughter more than just songs tonight?
Any gender

With too much hair gel and his favourite salmon-coloured shirt, this loveable but geeky palaeontologist may just know where the skeletons are buried.

In food-stained sweatpants, this sleep-deprived, unshaven and dishevelled father-of-three chugs energy drinks and is fast approaching breaking point.
