A mysterious note is left at her doorstep telling her to return to L.A. While she’s a little spooked, Audrey is all the more determined to make opening night a success. But when the movie ends and the lights go on, there’s more than popcorn to clean up. . .Liam Ross, a wealthy and ruthless real estate developer, is found dead in the theater.
