This riveting mystery comedy will keep audiences guessing as they go on location to an isolated island off the Gulf Coast to watch power-hungry producer director Hamilton Orr lure his timid screenwriter Clark Robinson into a scheme to get rid of the insufferable star of their second multimillion dollar film. Their first film Vicksburg was a huge commercial success for Pegasus Pictures - despite the bad reviews. However, the screenwriter (Clark Robinson) doesn't see it that way: he feels the director (Hamilton Orr) and lead actor (Derek Coburn) defiled his screenplay with their own corrupted version of his family history. So when the director's wife (Barbara Orr) convinces Clark to meet with Hamilton at the Governor's secluded private island getaway in the Gulf of Mexico to discuss a sequel, he hesitantly agrees. After all - maybe this time they can do away with all the flaws...or the person responsible for them! The plot hinges on the rehearsal of a suicide scene, and the only witness to the murder is Hamilton's wife Barbara, the film's quirky publicist and Clark's former lover. But things never work out quite the way you think when Hollywood is involved. The wily, eccentric sheriff (Leroy Lumkpin) unearths one surprise after another until the final stunning revelation. Can Sheriff Lumpkin unravel this mess before the Governor calls to find out why there is a dead body in his mansion during an election year?
