The filming of a TV program featuring the stars of a female detective, organized by a wealthy patron in his mansion, never took place. On the day of arrival, the queen of detective fiction, Aglaya Kanunnikova, died in front of everyone after drinking a glass of champagne. Her readers idolized her, while her colleagues despised her. Her death itself resembles a classic detective story... The attendees find themselves cut off from the world, the host has left, the phone doesn't work, and the mansion is guarded by a pack of vicious dogs. The investigation is started by two people - the cameraman who filmed the meeting, and the secretary of the deceased, Alice. Everyone is under suspicion. There is too much evidence against each of the female writers, who are ready to devour each other like spiders in a jar...
