It’s the one-night only performance of "Murder on an English Holiday in the Northern Cotswolds," a radio play based on the unreleased manuscript of Agatha Christie’s last novel by the same name. When a foley sound effect goes awry and a member of the cast ends up dead, the other actors have to solve the mystery before the play is done.
