When Detective Inspector Paul Banham is called to a suspicious death at the theatre, he finds a puzzling case. Was it an innocent accident or murder? The police soon uncover dark secrets lurking beneath the glamour of the stage. As the investigation gets under way, rivalries, grudges, and illicit liaisons begin to surface, and it becomes clear that the dressing rooms are a hotbed of vicious resentments. A second body leaves Banham in no doubt that a dangerous killer is on the loose. It may be Christmas, but one of the cast certainly isn't full of goodwill to all men.

As the investigation intensifies, Banham must navigate a web of lies and deceit, as the cast and crew become increasingly wary of each other. With time running out, Banham must unravel the mystery before another victim falls. The stage is set for a dramatic climax as the killer is finally exposed.

In the aftermath of the tragedy, Banham reflects on the case and the impact it had on his life. He realizes that the theatre was not just a place of entertainment, but a mirror of society, where the masks of glamour and deception could easily be lifted.
