Now recovered and ready for a comeback, Devi dreams of endorsing all things Prada, whose Rodeo Drive store she can''t resist. Instead, she lands the starring role in The Givenchy Code, a high-budget action-adventure flick. But with the tabloids all over Givenchy and her recent split with her drop-dead handsome costar, Blake, Devi can''t shake the feeling that another crazed fan is going to strike. Then a frightening message -- \"Play or Die\" -- is delivered to Devi''s house, and she finds herself sucked into a deadly and cryptic game not unlike the one in the movie she''s starring in.
