The death of her mother causes a young American Kat to have an ambivalent feeling. On the one hand, she is now a complete orphan, on the other hand, her mother was constantly absent, wandering around the country in search of new sensations. Kat herself leads a quiet life in her native Buffalo and deliberately avoids violent passions and impulsive decisions. But one day, while sorting through her mother's things, the girl suddenly discovers a ticket to a picturesque English village, where a detective quest is being conducted: the locals stage a murder plot, which the guests, fans of classic British detectives, must solve in seven days. Puzzled, but also intrigued by her mother's secret intentions, Kat decides to go to England alone — and plunges into a whirlwind of incredible events.
