When ten strangers are invited to spend the weekend on a small island off the coast of Devon, England, they do not know their host is an eccentric millionaire.
Although each guest has a mysterious past, everyone is unaware of the other's secrets and fates. In the home, a framed nursery rhyme hangs in every room: Ten Little Boys went out to dine—One choked his little self, and then there were nine.
Nine Little Boys Sat up very late—One overslept himself and then there were eight. Eight Little Boys traveling in Devon—One said he'd stay there then there were seven... and so on until only one person is left alive.
