Plot Summary of Blue Screen
"Sunny is hired by a young dot com millionaire turned film producer and professional sports team owner, Buddy Bollen, to guard his extremely temperamental leading lady and girlfriend, Erin Flint. Erin is the heroine of the tremendously popular, if artistically challenged, WOMAN WARRIOR adventure film series.

Besides being drop dead gorgeous, Erin is an athlete of sorts and does all her own stunts in her films. But she is not just Buddy's film franchise and main squeeze. Buddy is preparing to make Erin the first female major league ballplayer by signing her to his team. Buddy tells Sunny that Erin "looks like Willie Mays out there." Erin's baseball career will also coincidentally help the box office of her next movie, a biography of Babe Didrikson. But since she will probably get the same negative reaction that Jackie Robinson received, Erin needs Sunny to protect her.

Sunny and Erin don't exactly hit it off to hilarious results. Erin immediately takes a dislike to Sunny's beloved miniature bull terrier, Rosie, and tells Sunny "to put that dog somewhere." So Sunny tells her rich and famous client: "Then go outside and sit in the car."

But when Erin's personal assistant, Misty, is found murdered in the gym at Buddy's mansion in the town of Paradise, Massachusetts, Sunny's job switches from bodyguard to detective on the case. "
