Jocelyn O'Roarke (known as Josh to her friends) is a smart, sassy young actress who always seems to find herself in the midst of some sort of trouble. In Dead Pan, her long-time friend Austin Frost has invited her to come out to Hollywood to work on a television movie. His proposition is very attractive - Josh hasn't worked in over eight months and is spending her time sleeping, watching old movies, and trying to forget the impending marriage of her former lover. The move to Hollywood promises to be good for her career and even better for her spirits.But no sooner does Josh arrive on the set than the director of photography turns up dead. Josh's instincts tell her that the death is suspicious, and she is immediately on the trail of the killer and the motive behind the murder. With the help of the ruggedly handsome and decidedly heterosexual hairstylist, Jack Breedlove, Josh finds herself in the middle of both a mystery and a romance. And Josh is one woman who always gets her man.
