Genoa City is about to descend into chaos, with a shocking murder at the Dumas Gala that will have lasting repercussions for everyone involved. The once luxurious celebration, hosted by the enigmatic Aristotle Dumas, quickly turns deadly, revealing a web of lies, betrayal, and dangerous alliances.

The Dumas Gala: A Night of Opulence and Deadly Secrets
What was supposed to be a glamorous evening in the French countryside has turned into a night of terror. The chateau, adorned with luxury, hides a darker truth: Dumas has orchestrated a twisted game that will expose the most dangerous secrets of his guests. Among the attendees are Victor, Nikki, Nick, Sharon, Lily, Sally, and Phyllis—all unaware that their lives will soon be upended by an unthinkable tragedy.

Damian Cain, the quiet observer, has uncovered something that could change everything. But before anyone can process the revelation, Damian is gone. The night takes a horrifying turn when his room is found empty, and a trail of blood leads through the estate. As Victor, Nick, and Sharon search desperately for answers, Dumas remains eerily calm, offering vague reassurances to the panicked guests. But as the hours pass, one thing becomes clear: Damian’s disappearance is no accident.

A Mysterious Tape and the Secrets It Holds
As the investigation intensifies, a chilling discovery is made. In Damian’s room, behind a panel in the closet, a recording device is found. When the tape is played, Damian’s voice echoes through the room, revealing that he had uncovered something far darker than anyone could have imagined. “If you’re hearing this, it means I was right,” he says, “and it means one of you made sure I couldn’t prove it.” The tape cuts off abruptly, leaving everyone in the room with more questions than answers.

Dumas’ True Agenda: Power, Control, and Betrayal
The more the survivors dig into Damian’s mysterious disappearance, the more they realize they’ve been part of a deadly game. Dumas, with his calm and calculating demeanor, has orchestrated every step of this twisted event. The guests are now pawns in his chessboard, and each secret, every conversation, is part of his greater plan.

Victor, who had sensed something was wrong from the start, is determined to uncover the truth. He confronts Dumas, but the cryptic host only smirks, suggesting that Victor should look inward for answers. The accusations fly as suspicion falls on everyone. Who had the most to gain from Damian’s death? Was it Dumas himself, or one of the guests hiding a dark secret?

The Rising Tension: Who Will Survive?
As the search for Damian continues, tensions among the guests rise. Lily, devastated by the loss of someone she had grown close to, becomes determined to uncover the truth. Nate, who had only just begun to rebuild his fractured relationship with Damian, struggles with guilt. Meanwhile, Sally, once on Billy’s side, now finds herself questioning his loyalties and the true nature of his involvement with Dumas.

As the investigation heats up, Dumas remains a step ahead, his ability to control the narrative and manipulate those around him becoming more evident. The clock is ticking, and no one is safe.

A Family Divided: Victor’s Struggle
Amid the turmoil, Victor faces the hardest decision of his life. As the patriarch of the Newman family, he must hold it together for his family, even as secrets come to light and alliances begin to fracture. His bond with Nikki is tested as he grapples with the horror of what has happened and the chilling possibility that his family is being targeted. He is determined to uncover the truth, but will his obsession with revenge put him at odds with those he loves most?
