✦ Synopsis


Casting a Murderer
Fiona Davis is an amateur photographer and aspiring photojournalist who works part time at a rundown inn. She has spent most of her life in the small town of Starport, and while she may have had big dreams once, she has long since accepted her life as it is. Boring. Little did she know that this is about to drastically change forever... As the summer tourism season starts, Fiona prepares herself for another cycle of entitled guests and endless work hours. However, things take a strange turn, when a mysterious guest checks in and takes an interest in her. Before Fiona can figure out her true intentions, she finds the woman murdered on the beach. As if this wasn't enough to make things complicated, the victim also turns out to be none other than the world famous actress, Angelica Lorin...
Within a couple of hours, reporters descend on the inn looking for a scoop. The local police force is overwhelmed by the case and asks for the help of a neighboring department. The fact that Fiona found the body, coupled with Angelica's unexplained fascination with her, lead the police to take a special interest in her. Among those sent to help with the investigation is a jaded detective from the city, who is determined to solve the case no matter where the evidence may point to. Suddenly facing the necessity of proving her innocence, Fiona will now have to carry out her own search for the truth...
As more facts come to light about Angelica's troubled past, complicated life and fraught relationships, Fiona finds herself stumbling upon information that hits startlingly close to home. Finding answers to questions she had long ago given up on asking will shock her to her very core. Motivated to uncover the murderer like never before, can Fiona prove that she had nothing to do with Angelica's death? Or will the mounting evidence against her lead the police to arrest her before she can expose the real killer?
