Synopsis
When Steven Armstrong tells his children he has fallen in love, he expects them to be happy that his life as a lonely, 65-year-old widower is over. Instead their father's intended 33-year-old personal trainer Charlene Hendricks is exactly the kind of woman they fear: a rival for their father's fortune. An attack is made on her life; then a second attack backfires and mistakenly kills her husband. Only by finding the real killer can she prove her innocence.
