What’s on in Charleston?
Death on the Port Side
It begins with a fatal late-night speedboat crash: a group of friends thrown into chaos, one dead, another left in a coma, and an accused figure shadowed by political privilege. In this trial, the evidence pulls in different directions — accident or intent, blurred memory or careful evasion—while relationships and power muddy every account. As the jury, you weigh each contradiction, test credibility against influence, and sit with the hard uncertainty of what really happened on the water that night.
