Wake Up Dead Man
A disgraced ex‑boxer turned priest returns to a corrupt upstate parish to uncover the truth behind his superior’s murder, racing against greedy clergy and hidden fortunes before the deadly secrets destroy them all.
“He works in mysterious ways.”
Synopsis
When young priest Jud Duplenticy is sent to assist charismatic firebrand Monsignor Jefferson Wicks, it becomes clear that tensions run high within the parish. A sudden and seemingly impossible murder soon shakes the town, and with no obvious suspect, local police chief Geraldine Scott enlists the help of renowned detective Benoit Blanc to solve a mystery that defies logic.

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
