Failed actress Alex Sternbergen wakes up hungover one morning in an apartment she does not recognize, unable to remember the previous evening -- and with a dead body in bed next to her.

Only a single ally, loner ex-policeman Turner Kendall, can help her escape her predicament and find the true killer.
