The curtain rises to find Jane - Oscar-winning screenwriter - dead at the bottom of the stairs in a Vermont ski lodge
Her four friends and husband are all saying she fell
But not Jane
"I was pushed!" she says as her ghost rises
Aided by Kitty - a rather wanton adviser from "up there" - Jane is brought ahead to the present, three years after the murder, where the same group is gathered
They are all famous film makers sharing intense love/hate relationships ...
- Jane's husband who has married an ambitious ingenue
- a leading lady heading for middle age

The five suspects join together to keep the possible murder quiet for reasons of their own but their relationship busts apart with their mutual distrust
