Car le matin même de la cérémonie, Richard, le futur marié, est retrouvé mort dans la piscine. Un drame qui, bizarrement, ne paraît émouvoir personne ! Plus troublant encore, chacun des invités semble avoir eu un mobile pour se débarrasser de Richard. A commencer par ses propres amies d'enfance... D'autant que Rachel n'a pas oublié le pacte pour le moins original qu'elle a passé douze ans auparavant avec ses amies - Hilary, Jane, Luisa et Emma : " Si l'une d'entre nous tombe un jour amoureuse d'un homme qui ne plaît pas aux autres, il faudra agir en conséquence... ". Poussée par sa curiosité débordante, Rachel décide de mener sa propre enquête pour découvrir l'identité du coupable...
