Linnet Ridgeway is the woman who has everything: beauty, money, intellect and charm. She could have had anyone but chooses the fiancé for her best friend Jackie. To get rid of the crushed Jackie, Linnet flees abroad with her new husband. On board a luxury steamer along the Nile, they expect lazy, sun-drenched days. But Jackie has pursued them and the voyage turns into a claustrophobic nightmare. Detective Hercule Poirot is on vacation on the same ship. When one of the two women is found murdered in her cabin, Poirot is forced to act.
