It's another night at Villa Thrilla. But this time, with the wrong audience. A late December night at a once magnificent manor house on the coast of New Jersey. A storm rages as guests arrive for what they think will be a Mad, Mod Holiday Murder Mystery Party, while inside Villa Thrilla the evening has begun, organized by a missing producer/director and starring a motley group of thespians. But as the first body falls and the dreidel song plays no one is who they appear to be. Are they just bad actors? Or playing roles for other nefarious ends? A new twist on the classic English murder mystery. Villa Thrilla bends genres to highly amusing ends.
