The mysteries they solved may have been grisly, and brilliantly staged, but they were always fictional—until their final Christmas Masquerade, when one of the group disappeared, never to be seen again.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNow our young, privileged cast of old university friends are summoned to the depths of Scotland for a Christmas-themed masquerade party. But all are hiding something deep below the surface that could make or break their careers. Charley is a struggling actress who has always been on the periphery of this high-flying group, but has decided to reunite with her frenemies on the promise of career help if she joins the old cast for one last weekend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen they arrive each is assigned a new identity themed around the \"\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eTwelve Days of Christmas\u003c\/span\u003e\"—they become Lady Partridge or Mr. Gold; Lord Leapworth or Doctor Swan.
