Synopsis/Details
As Celeste Cornell writes, her computer screen comes alive and we see her story unfold.
People in real life reflect Celeste’s make-believe characters. A fictitious love triangle mirrors her real life love triangle.
Celeste’s fictitious story character Paloma, appears in reality and becomes her friend. No one except Celeste can see or hear her, unless Paloma wills it.
Celeste’s completed story, “The Last Valentine”, is being made into a movie. Her agent Nick Polonius, who is secretly obsessed with her, has her kidnapped. Paloma helps Celeste escape and the kidnapping attempt fails.
After learning that Celeste and her lover (actor Robert Fredrickson) plan to marry; Nick buys explosives from the same men he hired to kidnap Celeste. Then he kills them.
Nick plants the explosives in the safe room that Robert will be using while filming a battle scene. He detonates the explosives just as Celeste tells him she is pregnant with Robert’s child. Robert is killed, along with some of the other actors.
The incident becomes known as the “Movie Set Murders” and is unsolved for decades. Nick’s criminal involvement can’t be proven by the police and Celeste does not suspect him.
Twenty-six years pass. Celeste has raised Robert's daughter. Their daughter, Roberta, is now a cop.
With her determination and the mythical Paloma’s help; Roberta avenges the murder of the father she never knew and brings about justice for him and for her mother.
