Plot Summary of Hello, Gorgeous
"Caitlyn James owns and operates a beauty salon and loves changing the style of her hair to suit her fashionable outfits. But Caitlyn also is the result of a bionic woman type of technology which makes her super strong. a secret government organization, run by the scary Boss, wants her to use her new powers to help stop a serial killer who is murdering the scientists, or as Caitlyn calls them, egghead nerds, who did the cyborg transformation. Caitlyn is not happy about the idea of working for the government organization, taking orders from the Boss, or killing people.

The suspected killer is a rogue agent named Dmitri, but he thinks that Caitlyn is the killer. Caitlyn agrees to go to Dmitri's home so she can prove she is not the killer and figure out if Dmitri is. As a bonus, Caitlyn is happy to spend more time with the handsome brooding guy, who is an earlier cyborg experiment. In addition to being attracted to one another, they both do not like the Boss. But then, the Boss calls in both Dmitri and Caitlyn to help when only one of the scientists is left alive.

Caitlyn and Dmitri have to figure out who the killer is, discover if their hot love affair has any future, and decide how to handle the fact that Caitlyn's best friend, Stacey, is having an affair with the Boss."
