The premise

A group of family and friends travels to a secluded island for a destination wedding. They've come to laugh... to love... and, though they don't know it... to die. As the wedding festivities begin, friendships are tested and secrets exposed as a murderer claims victims, one by one, transforming the wedding week of fun and celebration into a terrifying struggle for survival.

Horror Vault's take

A lavish destination wedding on a remote Pacific Northwest island turns deadly when guests begin dying under mysterious circumstances. What starts as a week of celebration and old reunions quickly unravels into a desperate fight for survival as no one — friend, family, or stranger — can be fully trusted. Harper's Island unfolds as a serialized whodunit, parceling out clues and casualties episode by episode to keep viewers guessing until the very end.
