Plot Synopsis

A staid young Texas woman moves to Los Angeles and is befriended by a beautiful, unemployed party girl. When her friend becomes ill and has no health insurance she temporarily exchanges identities so her sick pal will be covered. When she goes to the hospital to visit she is told her friend is dead. Little does she realize, however, that the deceptions will end in murder-for-profit and a half brother she never knew she had, will appear to be the guilty party. Gradually assuming the persona of the victim and aided by an ingratiating stranger, she sets out on a desperate search to find her ''own'' killer before she is targeted for death.
