A wealthy man is murdered at a costume party, and all his houseguests and family are suspects. As the story unfolds, we learn that the murdered man has a difficult history with his family, his finances were not as expected, and that his granddaughter was a disappointment to him. A snarky novelist works with the police to solve the crime, but not before becoming a target for the murder himself. This difficult to follow mystery has some unique moments, but overall Mike and Amber found "Green Eyes" to be a challenging film to understand and discuss. Stick around to the end for the original character Mike created for use in tabletop role playing games.
