Synopsis
The Reception takes place in an isolated mansion on an island, but the host is mysteriously absent. A storm traps everyone inside, and the atmosphere turns sour when it is revealed, by way of a video, that each of the guests has a criminal past. A death ensues, and then another... the mansion quickly turns into a jail. Inspired by Agatha Christie's Ten Little Indians.
