When budding fashion designer Kate Williams finds a box of vintage clothing at her favorite thrift store in Silver Lake, CA she knows it’s perfect inspiration for her portfolio. But when she wears the clothes, she wakes up in someone else’s body. Is she dreaming or is what she’s experiencing real? Soon, she discovers that the clothes belonged to Ava Cain, the “Blue Butterfly,” an actress who was brutally murdered in 1957.

Kate isn’t just inspired by Ava’s vintage style, she’s witnessing her final days. Kate and her two best friends delve into the mystery and are led down a dark and twisted path of Hollywood lore, stirring up a long dormant evil along the way. Now, time is running out for both Ava and Kate. Can Kate solve the mystery of who killed Ava before it’s too late?
