Season 2:
When Zoe's sister's wedding weekend is destroyed by a murder, Aniq calls his old friend Danner to investigate the crime.
Aniq and Danner interview the bride, who tells the story of her relationship with Edgar in the style of a Jane Austen romance.
Grace's former boyfriend tells his story like a film noir: He suspected that Edgar was up to no good and was determined to protect his ex.
Like the heroine of a twee indie film, Edgar's adopted sister wanted to stop the wedding because of her own broken heart.
When Edgar's business partner opens up about their complicated history, it plays like a slick and suspenseful heist movie.
Why did Danner really leave the police force? She presents the scintillating story to Aniq like a steamy '90s thriller.
Aniq and Danner move the investigation to Zoe's family, starting with her free-spirited uncle. His tale is an epic, global romance.
Zoe's father reluctantly agrees to sit with her, Aniq, and Danner as they review found-footage-style videos from the weekend.
Launching into a '50s psychological melodrama, Edgar's mother details her nightmarish year since the death of her husband.
Alternating between campy horror and '80s soap opera, Zoe and her mother fill in the remaining blanks of Edgar's murder.
