An all-new hilarious Christmas comedy thriller from the people behind Crimes Against Christmas last year.
Tommy Albyn, the whisky laird, has died, and an eccentric cast of characters who hope to inherit his wealth are summoned for a perilous train ride through the Scottish Highlands in the dead of winter before his will can be read. Will they all survive? Spoiler alert: no. But it’ll be fun to watch the ride.
