On June 28, 1980 - the hottest night of the year - seventeen-year-old Kelly Michelle Lund shot and killed Oscar-nominated director John McFadden at a party in his million-dollar home in the Hollywood Hills. The shocking crime became an instant media sensation. News cameras swarmed to capture the dead-eyed teen with the mysterious grimace they dubbed the "Mona Lisa Death Smile" - a secret smirk that became fuel for national nightmares. Throughout her arrest and trial, speculation swirled over the enigmatic young woman's motives, information she refused to share with prying journalists, her estranged mother, and even her lawyer. Convicted of murder, Kelly lost her youth and her freedom, but held on to the truth - and devastating secrets - everyone wanted to know. Thirty years later - and five years after her release from prison - Kelly's past has come back with a vengeance. Her father-in-law, movie legend Sterling Marshall, is found in a pool of blood in his home in the Hollywood Hills - dead from a shot to the head, just like his old friend John McFadden all those years ago. Once again, Kelly is suspected of the high-profile murder. But this time, she's got some unexpected allies who believe she's innocent - of both killings - and want to help her clear her name. But is she? Or is she the ultimate manipulator in this land of make-believe where the line between truth and spin shifts like Pacific's tides?
