Soldier Island
An Overview:
The eight characters mentioned above are all en route to Soldier Island because of having received letters from friends /acquaintances requesting their presence. The remote island has recently been the center of gossip because of being supposedly purchased by a superstar/billionaire. After arriving, the guests meet Mr. and Mrs.Rogers who inform them of their rooms and the mysterious owner U.N Owen. Although the guests find it odd that their owner isn't present they go on about their casual business. After a fine dinner, the guests notice a copy of the "Ten Little Soldiers" nursery rhyme hanging on a nearby wall along with 10 china doll figurines on the table.During the gramophone recording, Anthony Marston chokes to death completing the first "sentence" in the rhyme. Soon after, many more deaths follow and each time a death occurs a china figurine goes missing/breaks. What was once a time of relaxation turns into a fight for survival when the characters find out that the only way back is by boat. A boat that hasn't arrived at all...
