CLOSE-UP Hot Show:
Now and Again, Friday, 9:00 pm

Disco Inferno: Theo and Michael investigate a mysterious death that is heated in more ways than one. Ed Delongpre, a middle-aged businessman, is reduced to a pile of ashes when he's struck by a flash of blinding white light in his office. When Theo (Dennis Haysbert) and Michael (Eric Close) arrive at the scene, they're told by an investigator that the man is apparently a victim of spontaneous combustion: he was charred from the inside but his surroundings were basically untouched. However, Theo, always a man of science, believes it's all a cruel hoax -- until he begins to feel a strange burning sensation inside. Lisa (Margaret Colin).
