When Billy Oliphant's drama student daughter asks for his help in the staging of her university's production of Twelfth Night, he welcomes the opportunity to spend some time with her. Designing the stage lighting is a piece of cake, even if Billy's feeling his age -- and a little out of place -- among the young thespians, in the hallowed halls of academia. The play will be performed in the romantic setting of the cloisters of an old abbey, the only historic building of what is a very modern university. It's the brainchild of Jonathan Taylor, Kirsty's keen if somewhat over-familiar English professor. Protective of his daughter, Billy doesn't warm to the lecherous Taylor, but even his is surprised when -- after a boozy party with the cast -- Taylor's naked dead body is found on the half-complete stage. But, as Billy finds himself drawn to a murder investigation, he is also mindful of the fact that, if he is to keep his daughter happy, the show must go on...
