KILL ME NOW is a satirical whocareswhodunnit centered around Damien, a gay man found dead in the Hollywood Hills, wearing only a ratty pair of briefs and a cherry-blossomed kimono. Here you'll play detective, the testimonials of those closest to him-his best friend, her girlfriend, his two exes, boss, new best friend, and even his cat-laid out before you.

These tea-spilling Angelenos will take you on absurd tangents under the guise of providing deep insights into Damien's murder. Sift through a regaling of ridiculous rants, a cacophony of catty comments, and a multitude of misinformation to get some semblance of a suspect. Hear their tall tales to discover the many sides of this murdered man, as well as the city he died in.

In the end, the question won't be who's lying. It'll be: why are you telling me this??
