Maggie becomes the prime suspect when it's discovered that she was the last person to see the celebrity doctor alive. Charlie can barely get a coherent word out of her--especially with Maggie doped up on a dizzying cocktail of meds for her depression and wild mood swings. Then another murder rocks the spa. Joining forces with her ex-boyfriend, studly movie-star-turned-director Mitch Hilsten, Charlie fights to clear Maggie's name. But she may not be able to stop the killer, who's loose among the pampered detoxers and preparing for one final cleanse.
