Et veldrejet mordplot. Perfekt til læsere, som elsker Agatha Christie. I årets sidste, fredsommelige dage mødes en gruppe gamle venner fra Oxford for at fejre nytår sammen. En tradition, de påbegyndte som studerende for ti år siden. Dette år har de udvalgt et idyllisk og afsidesliggende gods i det skotske højland som mål for deres nytårsfest. Det perfekte sted til at komme væk og få koblet af.Opholdet begynder uskyldigt nok. De beundrer det overvældende og dramatiske landskab, nyder champagnen foran den knitrende pejs og udveksler minder fra fortiden. Men det bliver det mere og mere tydeligt, at et helt årtis undertrykt misundelse og nag mellem de gamle venner efterhånden har trængt de spinkle rester af studietidens sammenhold i baggrunden. Under de løsslupne festligheder nytårsaften brydes det bånd, der har holdt gruppen sammen. Samtidig rammer en historisk snestorm Skotland og isolerer selskabet fra verden udenfor. Da en i selskabet findes død, ved de, at morderen skal findes i blandt dem.

På en afsidesliggende ø ud for den irske kyst samles gæsterne til årets bryllup mellem den succesfulde og målrettede livstilsguru, Jules, og den flotte og charmerende tv-stjerne, Will. Alt er planlagt til mindste detalje, og intet er overladt til tilfældighederne, da gæsterne ankommer til øen dagen før brylluppet. Men allerede inden champagnepropperne springer, og festen går i gang, begynder fortidens små uoverensstemmelser og ubehagelige sandheder at stikke hovedet frem blandt gamle venner, klassekammerater og familie. En giftig cocktail af hemmeligheder truer med at spolere den perfekte fest, og mens et stormvejr fanger bryllupsgæsterne på øen, stiger spændingerne, indtil lyset går ud og et blodigt lig bliver fundet.
