The Katakuris are a four-generation family of failures (grandfather, father and mother, children and granddaughter the narrator) who use the father's redundancy pay to buy a guest house in the country.

Somehow, each of their guests ends up dead—by suicide, accident or murder—and once they have made the decision to save their business by burying the bodies and concealing the deaths, they find themselves sucked into a nightmare of lies and fear (not helped by the arrival of the daughter's con-man boyfriend, an escaped murderer with police in hot pursuit, and an erupting volcano).
