Richard Ainsworth moved to rural France to escape the world, so being voted mayor of the small town of Saint-Sauver comes as a terrible shock. Fortunately bureaucracy has its benefits and he is shipped off to a health spa to recuperate.

After a dramatic first night where a bizarre and unfriendly group of guests are pitched against each other to win ownership of the resort, Richard's film-historian mind wanders. Has he seen this all before?
And when the first body turns up, he knows he has...
