Four marketers at a consumer products company have just one day to figure out how to sell a purple cooking pot to the American consumer. Should the purple pot be a metaphor of healing the political divide? A symbol of bisexuality? Merch for Martha Stewart?

The not-ready-to-be fading star of the company, Ava must overcome a talented young skater challenging her throne, a resentful company manager hoping to fire her, more than one scorned lover, and the physical and mental toll of a quarter century as an eliter skater to complete yet another country-spanning tour.

Siena, Italy 1942. Two children, Renzo and Bianca, are best friends torn apart by war. Bianca, a Jewish girl, is forced into hiding while Renzo, a poor Catholic, is conscripted into the Mussolini youth where he is taught to march, wield a gun, and despise the "other." When Renzo accidentally discovers Bianca and her friends' farmhouse sanctuary, he chooses not to denounce them. But for Bianca and the other Jewish children, Renzo is still more threat than protector. Can Bianca put her faith in her old friend – a boy who may no longer exist? Does she have any other choice?
