  Hollywood has come to Fern Valley, and the one stoplight town may never be the same. Everyone wants to get in on the act. 
   
   
   
  The crew from the wildly popular, fan favorite, Fatal Impressions, takes over Jules Keene's glamping resort, and they bring a lot of offscreen drama and baggage that doesn't include the scads of costumes, props, and crowds that descend on the bucolic resort in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Added security, hundreds of calls from hopeful extras, and some demanding divas keep Jules's team hopping. 
   
   
   
  When the show's prickly head writer ends up dead under the L. Frank Baum tiny house in what looks like a staged murder scene with a kitschy homage to the Wizard of Oz, Jules has to figure out who would want the writer dead. Then while they are still reeling from the first murder, the popular publicist gets lost after a long night at the local honky-tonk and winds up strangled. Jules needs to solve both crimes before filming is canceled, and her business is ruined.

  The year is 2024, and the residents of the Tower, a virus-proof apartment building, live in a state of permanent lockdown. The building is controlled by James, who keeps the residents safe but incarcerated. Behind bricked-up front doors, their every need is serviced; they are pampered but remain prisoners.

  But when he finds the Tower's building manager brutally dismembered, his investigator's instincts won't allow him to ignore the vicious crime. What Eugene finds beyond the comfort of his apartment's walls will turn his sheltered existence upside down. To unravel the Tower's mysteries, he must confront James. And James takes his role as the Warden very, very seriously.
