Lynn (Stuart Brazell), the beautiful singer of an all-girl rockband,
dies from a cocaine overdose ... not a big deal I guess because rockstars
do that all the time, don't they. There's just something that puzzles
police investigator Holden (Richard Poche): All her bandmates tell him
Lynn has never used cocaine. They don't deny taking the stuff themselves,
it's just ... Lynn didn't. Later this is somehow confirmed by the lab,
Lynn didn't actually die from the overdose but choked on cocaine, as if
someone had forced it down her nose. One of Lynn's bandmates, Veronica
(Trish Christensen), throws Holden a line to Jimmy (Ray Bachman), who did
some cocaine dealing and who has somehow involved Lynn in his business
because she was permanently broke and needed a bit of cash on the side.
Then Veronica dies though. Holden tries to get the whereabouts of Jimmy
out of another bandmember, Cassandra (Shelby Barendrick), but she manages
to give him not a hint of information but seduce him at the same time. Eventually,
Jimmy turns up dead. Holden corners Lynn's surviviing two bandmembers,
Cassandra and Maggie (Elizabeth Di Prinzio) in their studio, and now he
drops his pretense. It was him who wanted to strike the cocaine deal with
Lynn but who choked her to death in a bag of cocaine when she tried to
give him counterfeit money. But if the money was forged, the real money
has to be somewhere, right? He's convinced Cassandra and Maggie know
where, and he tries to beat the truth out of them - until the two turn the
tables and manage to kill him. Then they start to jam (after all they're
musicians you know), blissfully unaware that the money Holden has been
looking for is hidden away in one of their amplifiers ... A
pretty well-shot and atmospheric murder mystery that however falls a bit
short when it comes to creating interesting characters - which thus leaves
the whodunnit aspects of the story not nearly as engaging as they ought to
be ... in other words, one doesn't care that much what happens to the
characters or who's the killer in the end. This in turn is of course also
bad for the film's overall tension, which is a pity, because the film's
narrative buildup works just fine, really. In all, not a really bad
movie, it totally has its merits, but you'll almost certainly have seen
better.
