It’s Christmas Eve in 1936 and Broadway star William Gillette, admired the world over for his leading role as Sherlock Holmes, is at his Connecticut castle. Much to his mother Martha’s chagrin, Gillette invites his quirky, fellow cast-members to the castle, promising a weekend filled with merriment and joy. However when one of Gillette’s glitzy and glamorous guests is murdered, the survivors are trapped inside a fun house of hidden passageways, gadgets, and trick mirrors where any of them could be the killer. It is then up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes and uses the crime-solving skills he is famous for on stage, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. Prepare to be enthralled by an unrelenting rollercoaster of mystery and side-splitting laughter in this dazzling whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.
