After years of struggling to get Hollywood's attention, CLAIRE GREENE, 29, finally gets her big break. She lands a supporting role in a romantic comedy starring box-office bad boy, Alan Handler. Unfortunately, Alan bails a week before shooting begins, citing script differences and a sudden desire to check out an Ashram in Idaho. With Claire's agent. "It's no use," Claire e-mails her father."The only film I'll ever star in is an x-ray. I'm thinking of moving home." Not that she's anxious to reunite with her oooh- lets-go-to-Applebees family in Plainview, Long Island. Not that she thinks the prospects for love are better in New York (although in L.A, men drink hydrogen peroxide cocktails and wear fur coats). Ultimately, she packs it in because she's had it with being overlooked, underpaid, stood up, felt up, compromised, criticized, lied to and laughed at. And that's just on Monday's. Sadly, she never expected to return home broke and alone. Or to find the same crummy mattress and clearance-bin comforter still on her bed. Or her twentysomething siblings, Adam and Lindsey, still calling dibs on the bathroom and the computer. Or her parents, Lenny and Roberta, still bickering 24/7. How could she possibly be related to these people? Maybe she isn't. A week before her thirtieth birthday, Claire heads to Miami to visit her grandmother and to visit a South Beach modeling agency specializing in booking butt doubles for film producers. At this point, even a "back door" opportunity is worth pursuing. On the flight down, the elderly passenger seated next to her is anxious to make conversation. Claire blows the man off, preferring instead to get lost in her "People" magazine. But no sooner does the plane reach a comfortable cruising altitude than he clutches his shirt and collapses on her tray table. Flight 1311 was Abe Fabrikant's final boarding call. Claire is so wrought with guilt for ignoring the man, when the plane makes an emergency landing in Jacksonville, she gets off with "the body", meets his next of kin (a one-man Miami heat wave), and concocts a story about how she and Abe connected like dots. It's a decision that will turn her life upside down forever, for although she knew nothing of his existence, there is, indeed, a connection. A very close connection. Get ready to lift off on a spiritual adventure that promises love, laughter, oh-my-God secrets, and a ride to the "other side" you'll never forget. For once Abe inhabits her soul, Claire discovers she is actually clairevoyant. A girl who knew nothing of her real past, but now her future is coming in loud and clear. Enjoy the journey, but lock the bathroom door. You're not coming out until you've read to the very end of CLAIRE VOYANT.
