Lorsqu'un meurtre est annoncé dans la gazette locale de Little Paddocks pour le soir même, à 18 heures 30, tout le monde pense à une amusante "murder party", imaginée par quelque facétieux. Aussi, tout le voisinage, émoustillé, arrive au rendez-vous. Quand survient l'heure fatidique, la lumière s'éteint, l'assassin paraît et des coups de feu éclatent ! Mais, c'est ce même étranger qu'on retrouve, mort, tombé sur le parquet, son pistolet à la main...

Lily Parker (Cheryl Ladd) is a sophisticated American magazine editor who is on a business trip in Europe with her friend Susan Lawson (Ruby Wax). Susan convinces her to travel from Venice to Paris by train, instead of by plane. They board the Orient Express, where they hope to find romance. Instead, the atmosphere reminds Lily of a trip on the same train 10 years earlier, when she was a 19-year-old student traveling through Europe with her friend Stacey (Betsy Brantley). On that trip, she met Alex Woodward (Stuart Wilson), an aristocratic Englishman whom she courted, and then never heard from again.
