Synopsis

The police are tipped off that a murder is about to take place on the live TV show Project Design .

Detective Carol-Ann Perkins wants a shot to catch the culprit and become a famous star.

To do that, she not only has to overcome her own bumbling tendencies; she has to go undercover and compete against some of the top designers around.

At the end of the first act audiences are polled to see who they think commited the crime, and with seven different endings, you’ll never know who is the real source of the Elimination Challenge.
