Looking around, she spots an open bottle of pills that aren't the ones Mark usually took, and a computer still running a game on a loop. She also remembers a few things he had confided in her shortly before his death, worries that now seem far more troubling.

Convinced he did not die by accident, and determined to honour a friendship that mattered to her, Julia starts asking questions of her own. Before long she realises that someone close to him may have had good reason to want him gone.
