4.0
This starts out is a Sherlock Holmes style " who done it" but evolves into a philosophical reflection on life, evil, and forgiveness...a race to escape a bizarre philosophical prison, more like Sartre's "No Exit".
Graphic: Violence, Suicide attempt, Confinement, Murder, Suicide, Torture, and Stalking
Moderate: Child death, Addiction, Alcoholism, and Alcohol
