Summary
Angela Arden is a fallen pop diva. When Sol, Angela's husband, discovers that she's having an affair with tennis pro, gigolo and failed actor, Tony, Angela calculatally offs him with a poisoned suppository, or does she? What follows is a hilarious mixture of who dunits and double-crossings involving the ill-fated family maid, Angela and Sol's spoiled, vampy daughter and their boy-toy son.Additional Information
