Synopsis for: “Valley Girl: A Lyndy Martinez Story”

In this throwback to the 1990s, Lyndy Martinez is navigating the stressful changes of becoming a new mother to Mari Ellis, at the age of 40. After losing her cushy security job, her newfound domestic life is much different than the one she’s accustomed to, causing her anxiety. Things come to boil on a trip to Yosemite National Park where she accompanies Dr. Kyle Ellis, who is consulting for a land development company. While on an early morning stroll Lyndy gets accidentally tangled up in a missing person’s case and a plot to sabotage the entire project, potentially damaging an existing reservoir. In the 2010s, mature Lyndy is visited by a handsome stranger with an intriguing proposition. She learns her deceased boss Rita had set aside nearly a billion dollars, for any proven heir to the Lovelace estate. In order to claim a share of the fortune, all Lyndy has to do is testify under oath that Rita had a secret daughter. The plan seems to have no apparent downside, and Lyndy wrestles with sentiments regarding how poorly Rita treated her. But do any of Rita’s disrespectful actions justify Lyndy being dishonest and swiping the funds? And is it ever okay to lie, even in a victimless crime? Turning down the stranger’s offer to testify means risking his eventual wrath. What would Lyndy do? Hint: if you know The Spitfire, then you probably know the answer.
