After being transferred to a new church, Father Jud Duplenticy meets the mercurial Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, a domineering priest whose parish is filled with secrets. But when Wicks is murdered while alone in a closet in front of his most ardent parishioners, authorities bring in noted private detective Benoit Blanc to solve the case. Blanc and Father Jud dig into Wicks’s past and his relationships with his followers to solve a quintessential closed-door mystery. The detective and the priest discover the murder is only part of a larger puzzle of deceit, wealth, and power.

Daniel Craig and Josh O’Connor lead an all-star cast in “Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery,” now on Netflix. The sequel forces the renowned private eye and the earnest priest to join forces and sift through a bevy of suspects that includes the church secretary, a drunk doctor, a failed politician, a high-strung lawyer, and a struggling novelist. The film covers themes of morality, faith, and greed, wrapped in a classic whodunnit throwback the Knives Out series is known for.
