I casi ormai non si contano più e la stampa internazionale si riversa nella cittadina per documentare gli eventi. Quando, nel timore di un'epidemia planetaria, si spegnerà il faro dell'attenzione, gli abitanti resteranno soli e prigionieri a sprofondare nel regno delle ombre. Non soli del tutto, però. È rimasto in paese uno scrittore di gialli per affrontare il mistero di quei suicidi felici.

When Simone accidentally starts a new fashion with a nosebleed at a party, another Glitterati takes the credit. Soon their rivalry threatens to raze their opulent utopia to the ground, as no one knows how to be vicious like the beautiful ones.
