A freak storm maroons a troupe of actors on an island in Duck Bay, Prince Edward County. They are there to rehearse an interactive mystery play featuring Detective William Murdoch. There are seven of them. At least until one of them is murdered. It is obvious the perpetrator has to be one of them. But who? No one else came, nobody has left. One of the group is pressured into taking on the job of investigating the crime for the safety of all. As it turns out, each of them had reason to wish the victim dead. However, there is another sudden death. Now there are five. Will there be more? And why?
