Сын высокопоставленного чиновника, красавец и плейбой Вики Рай застрелен на светской вечеринке в своем роскошном особняке. В момент выстрела гости любовались фейерверком, поэтому убийцу никто не видел.
Интересно, что огнестрельное оружие было с собой у шести гостей. И все шестеро обладали серьезными мотивами, чтобы отправить Рая на тот свет...
Но кто же из них виновен? Кинозвезда, мечта всех индийских мужчин, или эксцентричный политик, утверждающий, что в него переселилась душа самого Ганди? Абориген с далеких южных островов или ловкий воришка, безумно влюбленный в сестру жертвы? Простой паренек из Техаса или отец Вики Рая, уставший от диких выходок сына?
Полиция - в замешательстве.
И тогда один из гостей - известный журналист, пишущий на криминальные темы, - начинает собственное расследование...
