Guests are invited to Lands End, a grand estate on the tip of Sands Point, Long Island, where the enigmatic Mr. Foxx is throwing one of his lavish parties. The night takes a deadly turn when the body of a guest is found floating in the pool. Every guest is now a suspect, and it is up to you to sleuth out the killer, and, if you can, the identity of the sly Mr. Foxx.
