A creative team responsible for a flop musical plagued by the "Stage Door Slasher" gathers at a mansion during a blizzard for a new audition, believing one of them is the killer. The evening quickly turns into a farcical whodunit, complete with secret passages, disappearing bodies, German spies, and non-stop mayhem, as the frantic group tries to unmask the murderer before they become the next victims.

Directed by Summer Jones.
