The killer is one of them.

One by one, they die — poisoned, stabbed, shot, drowned — exactly according to the poem. With no way off the island and no outside help, the survivors turn against each other. Everyone becomes a suspect.

Even the most logical characters begin to panic.

Eventually, all ten people appear to be dead.

But… how could there be a murderer if no one is left alive?

Ten strangers are invited to a lonely island by an unknown host.

Each person is accused of a past crime they never paid for.

One by one, they begin to die following a chilling nursery rhyme.

Fear grows as they realize the murderer is among them.

In the end, all are dead, and justice has been carried out in a terrifying way.
