The Von Ludwig family is known for their extreme wealth, refined dinner parties, and an idiotic head of house. Lewyn, the idiot in question, has crafted a scheme to find a wife by throwing an extravagant soiree. However, once family members and attendees begin dropping dead at random, it falls to the overworked butler and maid, Oliver and Peony, to stop the deaths and find the culprit. Richly Poisoned is a dark comedy that uses the absurdity of McCarthyism to tell a story of witch-hunting and distrust.
