dead men don’t ghost
the musical
The hook
"A tech billionaire is murdered, putting his own creation on trial to decide if the machine did it, and if it is human enough to be “Murderer”.”
The story
A brilliant tech billionaire is brutally murdered on the eve of launching a revolutionary artificial intelligence. In a desperate bid to protect their empire, corporate elites put the machine itself on trial, weaponizing the legal system to cover up their own corruption.
As a high-stakes courtroom battle ignites, the prosecution must prove the impossible: not only that the machine committed the crime, but that it must be recognized as a human under the law just to be convicted as one.
Caught in the crossfire of an elite tech empire, a vulnerable machine must fight for its survival, embracing a murder trial as its only chance to prove it is human enough to belong.
