"The Devil's Muse" is a sexy and thrilling journey into the darkness and mystery of Hollywood's most famous unsolved murder case.

When the beautiful Lisa Small(Kristen Kerr) gets the chance to play the tragic victim of the crime, Elizabeth Short, an entire dreamworld awakens all around her. All the while, a killer is on the loose collecting women and killing them in time for the 60th anniversary of the original murder.
