Featured Work
Star Struck
Movie costumer Joey Jessop discovers that Hollywood buries its secrets deep when a superstar's assistant turns up dead. Joey is working on a movie featuring two of the biggest box office stars in the world, although the leading lady, Gillian Best, is known more for her lifestyle brand than her acting. After a fatal traffic accident near the movie set, Joey realizes the car involved belongs to Gillian and she starts to wonder if the actress has more to conceal than her Botox appointments. But Hollywood stars know how to keep their secrets close, and a woman like Gillian Best doesn't take kindly to someone sniffing around her affairs. Still, Joey's sure that Gillian has something to hide, and she's determined to find out what.
