Шампанское со вкусом алиби

Rozhdestvenskiĭ vecher v obnovlennom pomestʹe Trenchard-Kholl obeshchal nastoi͡ashchui͡u skazku: teplai͡a i druzheskai͡a atmosfera, igristoe shampanskoe i vystuplenie samogo zagadochnogo illi͡uzionista sovremennosti - Braĭana Koula.No vnezapnai͡a snezhnai͡a buri͡a otrezaet ėlitnykh gosteĭ ot vneshnego mira, a dolgozhdannoe predstavlenie prevrashchaetsi͡a v besposhchadnui͡u igru, gde kazhdyĭ vopros zastavli͡aet zagli͡anutʹ v temnoe proshloe. Izmeny, predatelʹstvo, moshennichestvo - vse, chto postoi͡alʹt͡sy nadei͡alisʹ pokhoronitʹ, vykhodit na svet.Chto svi͡azyvaet ėtikh li͡udeĭ? I pochemu kto-to khochet zastavitʹ ikh uchastvovatʹ v smertelʹnom kveste?

Treason, betrayal, fraud — everything that the guests hoped to bury comes to light.What connects these people? And why would anyone want to force them to participate in a death quest?
