George Valentine is summoned to a college reunion at Seever University where two middle-aged brothers, Joseph and Douglas Durphy, claim they're in a dangerous situation. At the reunion party, Valentine discovers the brothers have been playing pranks and that one of them has apparently committed suicide using a suicide note written as part of an elaborate practical joke. But as a body is discovered and the evidence unfolds, Valentine must determine whether the death is genuine suicide or murder carefully staged to look like one.
