!!Tropes:
* AdaptationalVillainy: Murray Whitmore, a local antiquities dealer, angrily accuses the film crew of villainizing Caleb O’Connor and claims that he was just an ordinary hard-working man who did nothing wrong. [[spoiler:His claims are revealed to be correct, as he is Caleb's great-grandson and knows the real story of what actually happened back then]].
* BeAsUnHelpfulAsPossible: The case ends up being hampered by the movie’s producer Gloria Hamlin, who writes about it on social media to promote the legend and obtain a bigger fanbase when the SJPD wanted to keep everything on the down low for the time being until they found Jay's killer.
* DeathByIrony: Jay's cause of death was from an asthma attack brought on by inhaling mold spores in the mind, which actually contained healing properties that make them useful for making medicine. Jesse even name-drops the trope in the discussion about it.
* FakingTheDead: [[spoiler:Nell actually survived the cave-in. Charlie lied to Ian in the interrogation room to get him to confess to killing Jay and Gloria and framing Nell for Jay's murder while she was watching on the other side of the two-way mirror. She responds with TranquilFury that the SJPD have her full cooperation in testifying against her husband in court]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Charlie is told not to make any loud noises in the mine or the sound reverberations could trigger a cave-in. [[spoiler:Nell calling out to Ian inside the mine ends up causing it to collapse with them, Charlie, Sarah, and Rex still inside]]. [[spoiler:Fortunately, all of them are rescued before they run out of air]].
* FrameUp:
** Nell is accused of murdering Jay when her cell phone is found at the crime scene where his body was discovered the following night. [[spoiler:It was actually planted there by Ian to frame her. However, he planted it at the scene after the forensics team already did a sweeping of the area and would not have missed it the first time they were there, which connects the placement to Jay storming out on Nell the night that he went to wipe his fingerprints from the crime scene]].
** [[spoiler:Clarke is indirectly framed for Gloria's murder when Charlie catches him in the mine dressed up like Caleb, standing over Gloria’s body and then fleeing the scene]]. [[spoiler:Ian was also responsible for Gloria’s death, as he killed her when she inadvertently caught him wiping his fingerprints from the crime scene when she went to meet up at the mine with Clarke that night]].
* HappilyMarried: Ian and Nell Silver are a young married couple who are both actors and investors in the movie, having become involved in it when they were facing financial troubles. [[spoiler:Nell is revealed to have been having an affair with Jay through their so-called "acting classes."

* MissedHimByThatMuch: Charlie tries to contact Jesse when [[spoiler:the former, Sarah, Ian, and Nell get trapped in the mine after it caves in]]. Jesse was reading a book about Caleb and got freaked out by a part of the book so much that he put it down and left, leaving his phone behind just before it picks up Charlie's call. He eventually gets the message through Rex and gets Donovan to send out [[spoiler:a rescue party]].

Gloria eventually showed up at the mine because she wanted to talk to Clarke regarding Caleb making a physical appearance in the movie and inadvertently caught Ian in the act. Ian killed Gloria with the pickaxe she brought with her to keep her from going to the police when she realized what he was doing]].
* StealingTheCredit: Clarke Maitland (the production assistant) was the original writer of the movie's script. He brought it to Jay, who made several changes and eventually removed Clarke's name from the credits and replaced it with his. Clarke didn't actually mind Jay doing that, as he admitted that the script became a lot better than what it originally was.
