This year, Gabe''s baby brother Nick, a perpetual bachelor, has invited his new flame Hannah, who''s an actress as well. In fact, Summer immediately recognizes Hannah from a showcase they once did together, but strangely, Hannah claims not to know her. And that''s not the only thing that seems off.

As she investigates just what Nick''s fiancée might have done to keep her perfect image intact, she begins to fear that the first death may only be the beginning . . .
