Eight strangers with no apparent ties to each other are lured under false pretenses to a weekend getaway to a country home on isolated Soldier Island. Upon their arrival, they become dismayed to learn the only other residents on the island are two house servants and that their host and hostess are remarkably absent.
There is a curious decorative choice in the main room of the home—a framed nursery rhyme called "Ten Little Soldiers" that hangs above the fireplace along with matching figurines on the mantelpiece.
As the night grows dark, these ten strangers discover they are all pawns in an elaborate, Machiavellian plot with the intent to kill each of them one by one until there is no one left. Marooned and isolated, what was once a disparate group now finds they must choose alliances and trust each other if they are ever to survive the weekend.
And Then There Were None was originally a novel, published in 1939. It is among Agatha Christie's best-known novels and often considered to be one of her best. She herself said it was the most difficult to write of all her books. Christie wrote the first stage adaptation in 1943, with some changes from the original plot.
