NEW YORK, March 27 (UPI) -- U.S. TV network CBS has announced plans to start airing a 13-episode mystery series called "Harper's Island" next month.

The show is to premiere April 9 and the finale scheduled to be broadcast July 2.

CBS said "Harper's Island" is about a group of family and friends who travel to a secluded island for a destination wedding.

"Every episode, someone is killed. Wedding guests and island locals... every person is a suspect. No one is safe. No one can be trusted. By the end of the 13 episodes, all questions will be answered, the killer will be revealed and only a few will survive."
