  A year ago today, we gathered for Lucas and Nina's wedding at their glorious
  Cornish home overlooking the sea.
  
  
  
  
  
  But no one was married that day.
  
  
  
  
  
  Last year there were nine of us.
  
  
  
  
  
  Now there are eight.
  
  
  
  
  
  And Lucas has invited us back for a macabre anniversary.
  
  
  
  
  
  Tonight, he's planned a game for us - we each have a costume and a role to
  play.
  
  
  
  
  
  The game, he tells us, is about to begin.
  
  
  
  
  
  What does Lucas want?
  
  
  
  
  
  What are we not being told?
  
  
  
  
  
  And how will this terrifying game end?
