"Wrongly Dead'' is humorous, suspenseful and threaded with riveting twists throughout, and has a large cast of fascinating characters. Will Seman is a wealthy and unscrupulous financial genius and former dramatic actor. His wife, Gertie, abetted by two friends, falsely accuses Will of brutally assaulting her. Concurrently, Will is mistakenly declared deceased by the Social Security Administration. Rather than trying to prove he is alive, he plays dead to avoid arrest, buy time while proving his innocence and carry out revenge against his accusers. He assumes an alias and flees New York City. While driving through Oklahoma, he comes upon Swanville, a small wilderness town. He decides that Swanville is an ideal place in which to hide until he proves his innocence, punishes his accusers and repents for the maliciousness of his past.
