"Lily is always leading Kate on a crusade of one sort or another. This time, it's a reading with the infamous Princess Eva, a renown psychic. When Eva takes an interest in Lily, they are invited to a private reading, and that is where things get interesting.
When the guests of the party start showing up dead, all fingers point back to the party and the mystical Eva and her dark manager Montana. Matt, in his role as detective sets out to interview the remaining guests and discovers Kate and Lily are schoolmates. He urges Lily to book Eva for a private party in her family home, then shows up as Kate's date, against her druthers. Kate is still holding a grudge against him for an embarassing teenage incident.
As the case unravels and another guest dies under mysterious circumstances, Kate and Matt resolve their issues. Meanwhile Montana is romancing Lily.
Kate is convinced Eva and Montana are con artists and fights to keep Lily out of their grasp, but to no avail. When Lily demands Kate and Matt leave, to protect her new friends, Eva and Montana, Kate is for sure Lily will be their next victim. In an act of heorism, Kate returns to save her friend in a daring plot that includes secret passage ways, a clifts edge, and an impossible rescue attempt."
