It's the best gift of the season: taking photographs at wealthy Natalie Portrait Photographer Robyn Cavanagh has had a busy fall season taking a record number of client photos for holiday cards. She's ready for a quiet December to do her own Christmas preparations, but she has one more job to close the year. It's the best gift of the season: taking photographs at wealthy Natalie Hoffmann's holiday party.

Excited to be the official photographer at the party held at the publisher's estate overlooking the majestic Hudson River, Robyn hopes the event will win her new clients. Everyone will want to forget the evening, however, after Natalie's companion, Russell Nowak, is found dead in the garden.
