In a modern comedic take on Agatha Christie, a group of narcissistic actors are invited to their newly successful friend's murder mystery party - and one of them actually dies. With everyone as a suspect (from co-stars to lovers to fans to "friends"), can the group push past their own ego to pinpoint the killer?
