Synopsis
It begins with a phone call. And it ends with a murder . . .
Seven friends gather on an idyllic Greek island.
Among them: the actress, the playwright, the housekeeper, the second husband and the wayward son.
There’s jealousy, betrayal, unrequited love, a handful of secrets and too many lies.
Thirty-six hours after they arrive one of them will be dead.
You’ll never guess who. You’ll never guess why.
