Within the celebrated Sardi's building, four legendary Tony Award-winning actresses-who despise one another for reasons both personal and professional-are trapped inside a pitch black elevator car stalled between floors. Sharing the ride are theatrical ad executives Vic Senso and Bettie Balboa, along with a hapless young lift operator.
When the power finally does flicker back to life, one of the divas is dead-murdered in the dark.
Confronted by an elevator-load of high-profile suspects, Vic and Bettie call upon NYPD Detective Renny Clements and society psychic, Mizz Mitzi, to help clear their names before the ruthless paparazzi can tear them apart. In order to spotlight the killer, they must navigate the treacherous backstage theatre world of vicious tabloid columnists, noisy mezzanine ghosts, and lethal Broadway rumors.
