When Myles turns up dead, Eva has to prove her innocence. According to her, she didn't kill Myles, her deceased brother did. Can she stand trial? Should she stand trial?

The road ahead will be tough, but she must persevere: How else will she find fame, fortune and love in the spandex-clad arms of Dean Cain?
