Heather Wells has traded her pop star past for a quiet job as assistant dorm director at New York College. She's grateful to escape the spotlight and squeeze her size 12 figure into normal clothes instead of stage costumes. Her ex-boyfriend's celebrity wedding dominates the headlines, but Heather has bigger problems when she discovers a cheerleader's headless body in the dormitory kitchen on the first day of classes. With hysterical students, her ex-convict father appearing at her door, and constant calls from her former flame, Heather jumps at the chance to investigate the murder. The case offers a welcome distraction from her messy personal life and pairs her once again with the attractive private investigator who rents her a room in his brownstone. As Heather digs deeper into the mystery, she uncovers a dangerous underground world that threatens to silence her permanently.
