The guests are enjoying a Luau with Giles, and when midnight strikes the lights go out. There is a loud crash, everyone panics, and Giles starts role call and uses a flashlight to look for everyone. He sees Geno lying dead under a chandelier that has crashed to the ground. He then reads a note from the killer letting the guests know that they can’t start investigating until the morning.
In the morning, the guests start their investigations, while Giles goes to look for his missing cell phone. Ronnie and Kam check out the crime scene (originally Ronnie was going to go with Lindsey, but decided on Kam instead because he felt Kam was too untrustworthy). While at the crime scene they realize that the rope that held the chandelier was lowered, but not cut.
Also, the blood splatter on the floor is inconsistent with someone getting a chandelier dropped on them. Kam goes over to a table with a bust on it and sees that in the back there is a timer set to go off at midnight and black scorch marks on the wall and the power outlet. They both notice a neon green outline on the floor and don’t believe that the chandelier is what killed Geno.
Melina and Cris check out the morgue and find a slug in Geno’s bellybutton. While investigating they hear a phone ringing and go through Geno’s pants. They find a cell phone and Giles is on the other end when they answer it. He is upset and wants to know who has his phone and why.
Lindsey is solo when she goes into Geno’s bedroom to investigate. She finds a necklace with gray and green baubles on it and a note pad that has part of the paper ripped off, and only an S and T left on it. She takes a pencil and scribbles over the page below it and there is a note that says “Steal Giles’s cell phone and you will be spared.”
After they all meet up to break into their teams to share information, the guests then meet Giles at the pool to receive their riddle. They are blindfolded and taken into a pitch black room where they can search only with their hands. Ronnie finds some night vision goggles that let him read a message on a wall that says “look for the light at the end of the tunnel.” Once outside of the pitch black room a clue leads him to the morgue where he has to solve a word puzzle that is on the same kind of beaded necklace that was in Geno’s room.
Everyone ends up in the Morgue, and Kam cheats at doing the word puzzle by looking at Melina’s answers and sees “hear no evil." He remembers rooms with monkey statues, of see, hear and speak no evil. He runs up there and opens up a desk drawer that has a gun and night vision goggles. When they all meet up with Giles again, he tells them to reveal exactly how Geno died when they state their cases.
When they go into the State Your Case, Ronnie comes up with an idea that the killer used a trained monkey to drop the chandelier on Geno. At dinner before Giles comes in Ronnie admits that he has been lying and that he is actually a bounty hunter not a frozen food distributor. When Giles comes in he announces that Lindsey is spared by the killer and then goes onto explain how the killer murdered Geno.
The killer broke into Geno’s bedroom to write him a note instructing him to steal Giles cell phone. A blackout timer was set to go off shortly after the party started. The killer planned to strangle Geno, but Geno never wore the necklace that was supposed to be the murder weapon, so the killer had to shoot him in the bellybutton. The chandelier drop was a ruse to make it seem as though that’s what killed Geno. Kam and Cris get Spared cards while Ronnie and Melina get Scared cards.
Everyone lives through the night, and at breakfast Giles says that they will get treated to a spa day. Ronnie gets a hot tub relaxation, Melina gets a facial, and Cris gets a day of yoga, Kam a massage and Lindsey a mani-pedi. While in the hot tub an explosion happens and Ronnie is flung out of it and lands into the pool and dies.
