Now Lexy's sitting at the top of the suspect list with a motive, means and opportunity... but no solid alibi. ¿Lexy soon finds herself in a race against time to find the real killer before she ends up disqualified from the contest, or worse, in jail.

With a $100,000 grand prize at stake and the search for the killer heating up -- will Lexy clear her name in time to grab the prize... or will her dream turn into a nightmare?
