The resort is up for sale and Annie has been notified that a buyer is waiting on location to make an offer. An initial meeting with the prospective buyer and his companion leaves her cold. When the hotel manager tries to pressure her into making a hasty sale, Annie begins to feel uneasy about the situation. Her suspicions are quickly validated when the buyer's companion is kidnapped and murdered. She begins an investigation on her own and soon discovers a guest list filled with greedy, deceitful and vindictive people any one of whom would be capable of murder.
