A remote hotel. A murder mystery. A missing woman. Everyone has a role to play, but what's real and what's part of the game? The weekend getaway at the gorgeous manor hotel should have been perfect. But Becca knows it's just an expensive attempt at an apology after her husband Blake's betrayal. She may not be ready to forgive him, but playing along with the weekend's elaborate 1920s murder mystery theme is just the distraction she needs. Before long, the game is afoot; famed speakeasy songstress Ida Crooner is found 'murdered', and it's up to the guests to uncover the culprit. Playing the role of Miss Debbie Taunte, an ingenue with a dark past, Becca dives into the world of pun-heavy clues, hammy acting, and secret passages, to take her mind off her marital troubles. Then, the morning after they arrive, the actress playing Ida's maid fails to reappear for her role. The game's organizer - one Miss Ann Thrope - assumes the young woman's flakiness is to blame, but when snooping for clues, Becca finds evidence she may not have left of her own free will.
