A luxury tour is organised with the selling point that popular travel journalist Nagiko Eki (Yoko Shimada) will be accompanying the group as a guide, but Eki herself cancels at the last minute. On the condition that Eki herself joins the group on the final day of the tour, her assistant, Etsuko Hijikata (Chikako Kaku), steps in to act as the tour guide. However, Etsuko and the tour escort, Ryohei Kadota (Eiichiro Funakoshi), find themselves at their wits’ end dealing with the endless whims of the seven celebrity middle-aged women on the tour. Amidst this constant turmoil, a series of deaths among the tour participants occurs, first in the South of France and then in Granada, Spain.
