    Takto sa to teda končí... Už mi je jasné, že jedna z nás musí zomrieť. Niekedy je smrť nevyhnutná, inokedy sa jej dá zabrániť. Ale odohrávajú sa aj tragédie, ktoré sa samy vyvíjajú, postupne naberajú silu a spôsobujú jedno zlo za druhým. Áno. Túto je načase skončiť... Mark a Evie prežili búrlivý ľubostný románik. Evie vrátila Marka do života po náhlej smrti jeho prvej manželky. Markova sestra Cleo vie, že by sa mala kvôli bratovi tešiť, ale na Evie sa jej niečo nezdá... alebo len žiarli, že už nie je v jeho živote na prvom mieste? Evie sa nasťahuje do Markovho krásneho domu na útese priamo nad morom a čoskoro porodí krásnu dcérku. Akosi pričasto sa jej však stávajú nehody v domácnosti. Tvrdí, že je len nešikovná, ale jej priatelia sa o ňu čoraz väčšmi boja. Mohol by jej zranenia spôsobovať Mark? Seržantku Stephanie Kingovú raz v noci zavolajú do domu na útese a tam nájde dve prepletené telá v zakrvavených posteľných prikrývkach. Kde sa začína vražda? Keď vrah zdvihne nôž, pripravený zasadiť ním smrtiaci úder, alebo predtým, pri prvej myšlienke na násilie? Kam až siahajú korene nenávisti a pomsty? Keď sa obvinená postaví pred súd, porota musí nájsť odpoveď na otázku, či vraždu možno za istých okolností obhájiť.

    Presne pred rokom sa skupinka priateľov zišla na Lucasovu svadbu v jeho krásnom cornwallskom dome s výhľadom na more. Zoznamujú sa, zabávajú, popíjajú. Pri prestretom stole v predvečer svadobnej oslavy je osem stoličiek. Deviata je určená utiahnutej, tak trochu záhadnej ženíchovej nevlastnej sestre Alex. Lenže všetko sa pokazilo. Lucas tých istých priateľov znovu pozval do svojho rozprávkového domu na oslavu výročia – čoho? Svadby, ktorá sa nekonala, alebo tragédie, ku ktorej došlo len niekoľko hodín pred plánovaným obradom? Hosťom oznámil, že pre nich naplánoval hru. Dostali kostýmy, pridelili im roly a všetci bez výnimky musia hrať. Vie, ako k tomu donúti tých, ktorým sa to nepozdáva. Hra na vraždu sa čoskoro začne, a to aj napriek prítomnosti dvojice policajných vyšetrovateľov. Čo od nich vlastne Lucas chce? Čo zamlčiava? Čo taja ostatní? A čo potom, keď sa táto strašná hra skončí?
