When transsexual starlet Aisling is murdered, Detective Geraldine Meyers is assigned the case. With help from medical examiner Dr. Rachel Hunter, Gerri realizes this is no ordinary killing. While she might not want to call in over-eager anthropologist Dr. Kinsey DanAllart, the detective is forced to trust her friend's expertise in symbology, even though doing so means admitting "weird" things might be happening in Silver City. As the three friends unravel the mystery of the dancer's death, one thing is made absolutely apparent--something isn't right in their new hometown. And someone is doing everything they can to make sure the truth doesn't come out.

In Silver City, sometimes friendship can be murder.

EXT. to INT. - SILVER CITY COLLEGE - EVENING


Silver City College sprawled over a couple of blocks on the outskirts of the center of town, brick and stone buildings officious enough to scream higher learning. Gerri left her car in the visitor's parking lot and crossed the darkening campus toward the anthropology building, hands shoved deep in her pockets.


It took a great deal of effort to keep from running, a growing sense of foreboding pushing her hard. She must have looked intimidating to send a pair of students scrambling out of her way, long, booted stride carrying her with haste not quite a run to the glass door of the building. It thudded open under the pressure of her hand, the sound of the metal against the jam cutting through her anxiety and helping her gain perspective.


Kinsey was fine. Kinsey was fine. Kinsey. Was. Fine.
