Story
The story starts in the island of Rokkenjima as the annual family conference of the Ushiromiya family is being held. The children of the head of the family, Kinzo Ushiromiya, all arrive to the island with their families to discuss the inheritance of their father's vast fortune. On the same day a typhoon traps them on the island and seals Rokkenjima off from the outside world. Shortly after the typhoon breaks out members of the family start going missing, leading to the discovery of a gruesome murder scene with six of the people on the island found dead and disfigured.
Stranded on an isolated island with a killer among them, it's up to the surviving family members and servants to find the culprit.
