Murder mystery/horror/ action/ black comedy film. Gary Bowie is driving back to his apartment in the pouring rain when a freak storm hits and he crashes the car in a ditch, with great effort though he manages to drive the car back onto the road but as he continues driving a lorry nearly smashes into his car and it spins out of control he regains control of the car only to crash into a wall, he stumbles out of the car and looking around realises he is at a large hotel/ bed and breakfast/restaurant type building called the Carfraemill. Gary enters and tries to call his room mate back at the apartment but after talking with the bartender Seth, he realises the lines are all dead because of the storm. Gary befriends Seth and the two begin talking about past romantic encounters, meanwhile two men are having their dinner next to a fire place and across from Gary and Seth, their names are Jackson and Timothy, the two begin talking about how a man called Boyle killed a man named Freddy. The two begin discussing the best ways to pull of a murder, talking about theory's used in popular Movies. As they are chatting a cocky foul mouthed teenager named Lewis comes down the stairs from the third floor and orders a beer and begins playfully teasing Seth, which amuses Gary. Lewis orders some dinner and sits down reading a newspaper sipping some coffee and looking through documents on his laptop which he explains to Seth and Gary are screenplays he is selling too Quentin Tarantino, Martin Scorsese and Steven Spielberg for the 'low' price of 20 grand per screenplay, in return Lewis explains he not only gets the money but he gets an additional producer and writer credit when the film is made. Lewis befriends Gary and as the storm continues thrashing the outside of the hotel, the butler Bitterman expresses his distaste with the weather. A young women in her twenties named Rose enters the hotel and asks to use the phone only to be told by Seth that the lines are down due to the storm. Rose expresses her anger with the situation and begins declaring to everyone in the main area of the restaurant about how she is an actress and she needs to make an audition. Seth doesn't take her seriously and teases her, while Lewis befriends her and she confides in him, expressing her woes. Two women from upstairs, Kristin and Kelly enter the main area and begin talking with Seth about when the storm will die out, Seth doesn't know but Bitterman assures them the storm is due to rage on for days. Three men who work in room service, Marcus,Zack and Holden also gather in the bar area. The owner of the hotel Patrick Price assures the group that the roads will be fine in the morning to the dismay of Bitterman who doesn't believe him. The cook Marty leaves the kitchen and changes into casual clothes and enters the bar ordering a drink. Three waiters Scott, Greg and John sit on the stairs bickering about Movies and women as the storm continues. Some of the other cooking staff, Carla, Maria and the man who cleans the dishes Casey, sit in the corner at a rounded table talking about celebrities that piss them off. A lone hooded man enters the restaurant and sits down and begins drinking heavily. One of the men from upstairs named Ben comes downstairs and begins asking about the weather and the answer is the same. The lone hooded man having ordered a steak begins eating it at the bar but he begins choking and violently spews blood before falling and dying to the shock of the rest of the people, Scott stumbles against a door shocked, the lights go out and when they come on, Scott is found to be missing. Price tries to calm everyone down and ushers them into the large dining room at the bottom section of the hotel in there though as the group all take a seat, a bullet smashes through Ben's chest severely injuring him and the gunman is no where to be found causing more panic, the lights then go off. When they come on again, Price takes everyone back to the bar area, where Seth uses the first aid kit to treat Ben's wounds. As he does so the lights continue to flicker on and off, causing John, who used to be an electrician to try and adjust the settings on the power mains in the cellar as he does so he assures the group that he has to go to the roof to adjust the satellite which will cause a better signal to come about so Seth can radio for help. John uses a ladder to go to the roof, with Gary holding the ladder as John is up there though he reaches up to the satellite only for him to slip and slice his hand on the sharp edge of a statue. John again tries to reach up to the satellite but his hand burrows into a wasps nest by accident causing the wasps to violently sting him and he falls of the ladder and is brutally killed when he lands on Gary's car below. Gary rushes back inside too tell everyone of what happened Seth comes outside and finds the dead body when the two enter they pronounce that John is dead only for the lights to go off and a scream is heard, when they flash back on, Carla tries walking towards Lewis only for blood to begin bursting violently out of her neck, she dies a bloody mess and as Gary examines her body he tells the rest of them that she has had her throat slit. The bodies are placed in a corner near the bar and the group go into the dining area and after examining the area, Gary sees a gun connected to a timer placed on a shelf behind where Ben had been shot. Lewis, Rose, Timothy and Jackson begin looking around upstairs, while Gary, Seth, Bitterman and Price examine the dining room. Greg, Casey, Kristin, Maria and Kelly begin looking around the top floor of the hotel where they find a room door open, inside they find a waiter named Rob lying with his throat slashed open. They go downstairs to the bar area where they find Marty looking after the injured Ben. Lewis, Rose, Timothy and Jackson begin looking about upstairs only for Scott to dive out of a room and slash Lewis across the shoulder with a knife attacking him, Lewis tries to run but he is pushed down the stairs by Scott and he lands badly hurting his arm he tries to run off only to be beaten over the head with a coat holder, Jackson appears though and pulling a gun from his coat shoots Scott to death. Everyone blames the deaths on Jackson but Lewis vouches for Jackson and explains that at the time when Ben was shot, Jackson had been at the other side of the room, and the timed gun had shot Ben. Lewis explains it was probably Scott who murdered the people. Timothy and Jackson explain they are hit men who work for the mob killing off 'Bad Eggs' as they like to call them, who have turned against the mob or done something horrific. Seth fixes Lewis wounds and as Gary looks around the hotel he accidentally opens up a passage in the wall, the group goes inside and finds a secluded office, and Price explains it is where he goes to 'Think'. The group again begins quarrelling but as they head back to the bar, Lewis hushes them all and says: “You people don't get it do you, this fucker, this killer who ever he is, wants this to happen he wants us to wriggle and fight with each other he wants us to turn on each other. This guy is a fucking evil genius he is going to kill us off one by one, we have to stick together or this guy is going to get us he's going to make this slow for us, what we need to do is get out of here or else this killer will fuck us over, the longer we wait the more fun he has. We have guns to defend ourselves with, there's knifes in the kitchen and I don't know who this guy is but the fact is he's one of us, we have to come to terms with that and to be perfectly honest not a lot of us will get out of this alive, we are fucked basically were walking horror movie cliches, cuz this guy isn't gonna rest till the lot of us are dead. Many of you suit the role of the dumb blondes so you guys are fucked but me, I think I'll do fine, we have to stick together though if we don't we die. And never under any circumstances should we split up that's just fucking retarded.” As Lewis finishes talking the lights go off, and Timothy disappears, everyone looks around but can't find him, and as the group look upstairs they find Timothy in one of the rooms dead, having been brutally stabbed by a sword which is lodged in his chest, Gary takes Timothy's gun to protect himself and Lewis arms himself with a fire axe. The group go back to the dining room where they take a seat and have a rest, Lewis connects with Rose by sharing a fond childhood memory and Gary befriends Kristin. Rose explains she needs to go upstairs and get her suitcase from her room, Greg agrees to go with her but as they leave and begin walking up the stairs the lights go off, when they come on again Greg reaches the top of the stairs, and he is attacked by a hooded man wearing a mask who slashes his throat and brutally stabs him to death, Rose takes refuge in her room but is attacked by the man who breaks into the room and beats her, but she manages to hide in the bathroom. The group rush upstairs but as Casey steps on the stairs his step activates an automatic blade which swings out from the wall and cuts Casey in half killing him. Lewis using the axe smashes down Rose's door and breaks into the bathroom where he finds her huddled in a corner crying. After looking around her room, Gary goes downstairs and seeing Scott's dead body inside finds a tape recorder stuffed in his pocket, Gary clicks play and a metallic booming voice says: “Scott for years now, you have lived with the guilt of killing an innocent man and his children in a fatal car accident rather than face the consequences for your actions you hid and kept this from the world., you have laughed and smiled and lived your life hiding your secrets from the world, today you face fear head on, in front of you is a knife, I want you to kill Lewis with it, he is the key to your freedom on his persons are several hundred dollars, I want you to take that money and leave, complications may arise though, as victims are prone to fighting back. You are not worthy of the life you possess you must earn life, to earn this you must take the life of another, by killing Lewis, you can earn your freedom. If you do not, then the past will come back to haunt you. Hurry, time is precious.” Gary is shocked and he shows the tape to the rest of the group they are all shocked but the lights go off and a scream is heard when the lights flicker on again, Bitterman is lying dead on the floor with his head smashed in. The only survivors after Gary makes a count are, Jackson, Lewis, Seth, Rose, Gary, Kristin, Kelly, Ben,Price and Marty and Marcus, Holden, Zack and Maria. Everyone begins looking upstairs and as Jackson enters Timothy's room he becomes split up from the rest of the group, Lewis notices Jacksons absence and he and Gary armed with the gun and the axe rush into the room where Timothy's dead body is. Lewis runs in and finds Jackson examining Timothy's body, Jackson pulls a tape recorder out of Timothy's jacket and presses play, the rest of the group arrive in the room as it begins playing as such: “Taking into account that you're all at a great disadvantage being trapped here, I wonder what you will do too survive, people are so weak, ungrateful of the things they have, count your blessings because I want you all to play a game, death is the key too your escape from this prison, I want you too kill each other, the lone survivor has earned their freedom but I want you too stay here, Salvation lies within these walls, you want freedom you want to leave, but I urge you to do the opposite, safety is here but how much blood will you shed from your inmates to survive. Time is of the essence, better hurry the clock is ticking.” Zack panics and runs off he runs out of the hotel and begins running towards the nearby woodland area he keeps running and falls down an embankment breaking his ankle with great effort he pulls himself up the embankment and begins limping out of the woody area but he is attacked by a large bear which standing up on two legs slashes his face and tears his throat he tries crawling away but the bear tears him to pieces. Gary witnesses this from the car park and begins running towards the woods only for the bear to charge at him but Jackson appears and shoots the bear repeatedly it runs onto the road still charging towards the two only to be hit by an approaching car. The driver named Dennis shocked has no other choice than to wait in the hotel until the phone lines begin working again. Jackson explains to Gary that when he and Timothy had been talking about murder when Gary first arrived they had been talking about when they had killed a man named Boyle and framed it on a rogue mob member named Freddy, he grieves over Timothy's death also and is comforted by Gary. Rose and Lewis connect further and the two begin kissing but are interrupted when Kelly begins shouting and panicking she attacks Seth and takes the keys for his truck she runs out into the car park with Lewis, Jackson and Gary trying to stop her as she runs into the car park, she gets in Seth's truck only for it too explode and kill her. Several of the other cars begin exploding one by one and Lewis standing next too a car is launched into a wall and he hurts his shoulder he is dragged back into the hotel as the cars outside begin exploding. The group panics and begin arguing as Lewis sits in the corner. Ben sick of their quarrelling tries to leave through a back exit where his car is parked as he heads towards the back exit, when he opens the door an automatic shotgun behind the door fires and obliterates Ben's shoulder, he manages to dive out a window and as he heads for the car he is killed when a gas main comes loose and the extremely hot gas burns his injured shoulder and as he stumbles into the front of the hotel he is killed when an eagle statue on the roof falls and brutally crushes him. Lewis explains that they should go up stairs and rest but Gary says it is not safe, but Lewis says that people can take shifts outside the king sized bedroom, Gary refuses as does Seth and the two stay in the bar area but Lewis, Kristin, Rose, Maria and Price go up to the king sized suite. Jackson, Marty, Gary,Holden,Marcus and Seth. The group in the king sized suite rest but when Maria has her turn for guarding the room outside armed with Timothy's gun she is attacked and killed by the masked man. Gary goes up to check on them but hears shouting he opens one of the normal room doors and inside finds a waiter chained to a chair screaming for help, Gary goes into the room but activates a trip wire upon entering which closes the door behind him and a sharp jagged metal pole begins protruding from the wall Gary finds a tape recorder which says “Across from you is man a normal waiter and I want you to make a choice, leave this room or save this man the window is your exit but there are consequences for your actions, if you leave this room this man will die.” Gary tries to save the man by removing his chains Gary tries smashing the chains but fails. Gary gives up and dives out the window only for a trip wire to slash his left leg and cut him badly, the metal pole stabs the man and impales through is chest. Gary tries climbing down from the roof using the ladder but the ladder breaks and Gary falls of the back of it landing on another side of the roof, he lands badly and rolls of the roof he limps back towards the main entrance.

He is brought inside and with great difficulty Seth manages to stop the bleeding in Lewis' neck. Holden begins obsessing about the tape found in Timothy's jacket and he believes it has a secret meaning but the rest of the group ignore him. Lewis though agrees with Holden, and again talks of the Agatha Christie novel 'and then there were none' in which ten people are lured to a remote location under false pretences only to be killed of one by one, but each person had done something bad in their past and to top it off these people killed each other causing an unsolvable murder because all clues pointed to everyone, everyone being a subject and there was no reasonable explanation for the killings in the books.
