Summary

A man is found in his hotel room naked, bound, and stabbed, yet barely still alive. Everything was taken, including the toiletries provided by the hotel. After telling the police that no one did this to him, he dies. Authorities quickly learn that he's not who he said he was, but the circumstances around his death don't add up. To add to the confusion, a series of anonymous phone calls and letters are received, which provided more questions than answers.
