When the timid Elsie Maitland stumbles upon a small, seaside town, she takes a room in the lone hotel at the top of the cliffs, but something’s amiss. There is a curious assortment of guests that have all been summoned, and they have one thing in common—all were suspects in an unsolved murder 20 years earlier—a murder that took place at this very hotel. History soon repeats itself when an unassuming reverend is bludgeoned to death and the hotel’s maid is poisoned, leaving the guests to wonder, who’s next?
