Synopsis

An opera singer uncovers the dark secrets of her cruel and alluring understudy when a shocking murder disrupts her disciplined world

After years of rigorous instruction and ensemble work, Kit finally gets her big break when she’s hired to play the lead role in a new opera based on the 1960s cult classic film Barbarella. Entrusted with playing the beautiful and seductive titular role, Kit is on her way to the top. But then she walks in to rehearsal and meets her understudy. Stunning, suggestive, and wildly confident, Yolanda is physically everything Barbarella is meant to be. Because Yolanda lacks formal training, Kit isn’t threatened, until Yolanda reveals that she believes she deserves the role—and will do anything to get it.

Yolanda is as cunning as she is glamorous, and as her schemes become increasingly dangerous, she draws an unwitting Kit into her orbit. But when a shocking murder destabilizes the company and threatens her role, Kit begins to discover the wickedness beneath her understudy’s glittery surface. Hunting down the betrayed friends and discarded lovers from Yolanda’s past and unearthing secrets she’s worked hard to conceal, Kit discovers just how far Yolanda is willing to go to get what she wants.
