“Érem set en total, atrapats a l’illa. Un de nosaltres era un assassí...” En una petita illa privada grega, l’estrella de cinema retirada Lana Farrar –una vella amiga– convida un selecte grup de nosaltres a quedar-se. Serà un dia calorós, assolellat, perfecte. Una oportunitat per relaxar-se i reconnectar, i potser perquè surtin algunes veritats amagades. Perquè res en aquesta illa no és el que sembla. Ni la Lana, ni els seus convidats. Certament, no l’assassí. Però jo, qui soc? Em dic Elliot Chase, i us explicaré una història diferent de qualsevol que hàgiu sentit mai.
