Plot summary
Detectives Logan and Wheeler are called in to investigate the combined methadone / anti-depressant overdose death of Justin Holland ( Michael Ellison ), the adult son of former pinup model Lorelai Mailer ( Kristy Swanson ) and her billionaire James Edward Holland. Lorelai has just given birth to a daughter but she soon also dies of a lethal methadone drug cocktail. The detectives are led to suspect Lorelai's lover/manager, Ronnie Chase ( David Cross ) as they look into who will benefit most from the Holland estate, including Holland's previous children, Bessie ( Kathleen Chalfant ) and Clara ( Jill Larson ). Ultimately Chase admits to killing Justin and Lorelai's unassuming sister, Jolene ( Ever Carradine ), admits to killing Lorelai because she believed that she was the only one who could best care for the newborn child, Ava. Inspired by the deaths of Anna Nicole Smith and her son Daniel Wayne Smith.
