When Kendall turns up dead in his apartment, Eliza sees her chance to step into the prime time role she's always wanted. The network promotes her, and suddenly she's living the career she dreamed of. But people connected to Kendall start dying under suspicious circumstances. Each death brings new questions, and Eliza's reporter instincts kick in. She digs deeper, following leads that others might ignore. The more she investigates, the clearer it becomes that someone dangerous orchestrated Kendall's death. Now Eliza realizes her curiosity has made her a target. The killer knows she's getting close to the truth, and her journalistic persistence might cost her everything.
