Welcome to Misletoe Manor. With just four days til Christmas, Nick, an investigative journalist, is desperate to get home to his wife and baby daughter. But when his frozen car stutters to a stop, Nick struggles over white fields to the distant glinting lights of a small hotel. Welcomed in from the cold, he meets the other guests. English rose Penelope and her wealthy American husband, basking in second-chance love. Matilda, an elderly widow, reminiscing about holidays past with her now-scattered family. And wistful Violet, recovering from heartbreak. But Nick's relief at finding shelter is short-lived. There is no phone signal, no internet, and, as the snowfall deepens, no means of escape. Because the next morning, Penelope is found murdered, with the Christmas tree star covered in blood. And twelve strangers suddenly become eleven suspects.
