Plot

After a young pretty call girl is murdered, the investigation leads Detectives Goren and Eames behind the scenes of the fashion industry, where they witness the many moral compromises—not to mention outright lawbreaking—that is allowed to keep the resident star designer and hard-partying, "rockstar" Nyle Brite content. Would the fashion house’s key members stoop to murder to protect the runaway train wreck who makes them all millions, or are those skills are being used in a cover-up?
