Nina McFall, star of "The Turning Seasons," America's most popular soap, is always glad to hear from her devoted fans. But lately she's been getting passionate letters from a man calling himself her "Secret Lover," and swearing he'll let nobody come between them.

Nina doesn't take it seriously--until a delegation of fans arrive at Meyer Studios, and shortley, thereafter the actor playing her lover on the show is dead in the Hudson River. Now she's sure "Secret Lover" means business.

Detective Lieutenant Dino Rossi doesn't buy it, however. Then a second murder is committed, and a terrifed Nina realizes she must unmask her homicidal admirer before he discovers the real love of her life and targets Dino for death.
