At Mr. Sullivan’s funeral, his son Alex shocked the mourners by arriving in a bright green suit with an unexpected smile. The priest tried to redirect him, but Alex had a surprising revelation to share. Standing before the crowd, he declared that his father, thought to be dead, was actually alive.
Weeks before, during Mr. Sullivan’s 50th birthday, Alex had sensed something was wrong when his father hinted at being weary of his high-stakes lifestyle. Later that night, a loud crash from Mr. Sullivan’s study sent Alex running, only to find his father collapsed beside a vial of liquid. Carter, Mr. Sullivan’s brother, insisted on taking him to the hospital, where he later informed Alex that Mr. Sullivan had died from potassium cyanide poisoning.
Yet back home, Alex discovered their family dog, Pebbles, unharmed despite licking the spilled liquid—tests showed it was only a sedative. Suspicious, Alex received a police tip about his father’s tax evasion involving an untaxed $10 million. At the hospital, Alex found the body didn’t match his father’s, raising his suspicions about Carter.
Digging further, Alex discovered a mysterious address in his father’s car navigation, leading him to a mansion where he found $10 million and fake passports. It became clear: Mr. Sullivan and Carter had plotted to fake his death and escape legal troubles.
At the funeral, Alex exposed the scheme by showing a mirror over his father’s mouth to reveal a mist of breath. After an adrenaline shot, Mr. Sullivan revived, shocking everyone. Both Mr. Sullivan and Carter were arrested, their elaborate escape plan unraveled by Alex’s determination.
