Meet twenty-two-year-old Cherry Pye (née Cheryl Bunterman),
a pop star since she was fourteen—and about to attempt a
comeback from her latest drug-and-alcohol disaster.
Now meet Cherry again: in the person of her “undercover
stunt double,” Ann DeLusia. Ann portrays Cherry whenever the
singer is too “indisposed”—meaning wasted—to go out in
public. And it is Ann-mistaken-for-Cherry who is kidnapped
from a South Beach hotel by obsessed paparazzo Bang Abbott.
Now the challenge for Cherry’s handlers (über–stage mother;
horndog record producer; nipped, tucked, and Botoxed twin
publicists; weed whacker–wielding bodyguard) is to rescue
Ann while keeping her existence a secret from Cherry’s
public—and from Cherry herself.
The situation is more complicated than they know. Ann has
had a bewitching encounter with Skink—the unhinged former
governor of Florida living wild in a mangrove swamp—and now
he’s heading for Miami to find her . . .
Will Bang Abbott achieve his fantasy of a lucrative private
photo session with Cherry Pye? Will Cherry sober up in time
to lip-synch her way through her concert tour? Will Skink
track down Ann DeLusia before Cherry’s motley posse does?
All will be revealed in this hilarious spin on life in the
celebrity fast lane.
