people have come in secret on Halloween to play a murder mystery game at a
rustic island cottage. Invited by writer Charles Prince, they appear set for
a weekend of fun until ghosts from the past begin to haunt the proceedings
and it becomes clear that all is not as it seems. The game takes one sinister dimension when guests begin to die and the remaining players realize that they are playing for their lives. Tension rises! Secret passageways, incriminating letters, hidden compartments, bodies in the window seat and a twenty-five year old unsolved mystery twist and turn toward the unexpected and terrifying conclusion.
