Arc Four: Into The
Spotlight
JEWEL!
A MOVIE STARLET
Topaz has been fairly idle since she gave up Jewel to concentrate on the
needs of her new baby. But Hollie is now six months old, and Misfit Music
have decided that it's more than time the singer got back into the swing
of full time work.
It just so happens that Milton Warrington, a local movie producer, is looking
for a new lead female at short notice to star in his latest production. The
part, about a young singer in Los Angeles, seems the perfect opportunity
for Topaz to branch out for herself and start a new career.
But things are rarely that simple. Although she charms Milton with her voice
and charisma, Topaz finds that it's not so easy to convince the rest of the
cast that she's more than just a rock singer turned actress, or that she
is up to the pressures of the job. Caught in a web between arrogant actor
Travis Banning, his catty friend Marina, and hot headed Morgan O'Sullivan,
Topaz isn't quite sure who to trust, and in her urgency to be accepted, begins
to take on more than she can handle.
But then there is a crisis at home, and Topaz realises exactly how much is
at stake, and what she has to decide.
Will she make the right choice?
And how will Sylva settle the issue of Jack Miller?
