Plot summary

On a rainy night filled with mystery and intrigue, seven unrelated guests gather in a Gothic New England mansion. To protect the anonymity of the eccentric, hand-picked invitees, cryptic butler Wadsworth and well-endowed French maid Yvette have given them secret code names: Miss Scarlet, Mrs Peacock, Professor Plum, Colonel Mustard, Mr Green, Mrs White, and Mr Boddy. After exchanging the usual pleasantries to break the ice, suddenly, the lights go out, and warm, bright-red blood stains the manor's thick carpets. Now, everyone is a suspect--each of the equally suspicious guests had a motive and the opportunity to kill. But who is the killer? Could it be the experienced Mr Green, the seductive Miss Scarlet, or could it be the butler, the usual suspect in crime novels?—Nick Riganas
