Five young men go out on a stag night. The groom-to-be has always been a practical joker and his friends are determined to pay him back. All are the worse for drink when they bury the groom alive in a coffin and leave him, intending to return in an hour or two, but within minutes three of the young men are dead in a traffic accident and the fourth dies in hospital without regaining consciousness. Detective Superintendent Roy Grace investigates the disappearance of the groom and he's convinced that the bride-to-be and the groom's business partner know a lot more than they're telling.
