Think there’s no such thing as bad publicity? Meet Doreen Diller. Ever since this aspiring actress relocated from LA to St. Petersburg, FL, it’s not just her location that’s gone South faster than potato salad in July. So has Doreen's acting career, her police record, and her waistline. But I guess that’s what happens when you’re accused of being a serial killer.

But when a mysterious stranger arrives at her mechanic shop seeking repairs to his rundown RV, suddenly it’s Bobbie who’s in for a complete overhaul... Norman Bates in a turban. Gonadal twins. Mothman pooper-scoopers.

While filming a new TV series starring Tad, a stabbing death rocks the set. Unfortunately for Doreen, the role of murder suspect is finally one she appears ideally suited to play.

All Bobbie Drex wanted was something normal—a new career as a private investigator. But after signing up with Nick Grayson to complete her internship, nothing normal has happened since.
