...Work in progress

Dora, singer/songwriter, interrupts her sold out national tour to get the opening act she wants and was promised by her intimate manager, David Greene. Alma Dumas, black singer activist, now an expatriate living in France, is and has been Dora's idol. David describes Alma as a "diva deluxe - she alone can put terra firma in flux." Alma's son, Marcus Benjamin, unlike his mother is committed to his country to such an extent that he is running for congress in South Carolina. The last thing he and his campaign manager, Libby Blossom, want is for Alma to return to the states. Her angry rhetoric about the racist country she left is nothing that will help her son's campaign. Dora and Marcus arrive in France at the same time. As Dora tries to convince Alma to return to her homeland to open for her, Marcus tries to stop her. Dora and Marcus, in spite of and because of their intense and conflicting interest in Alma's moves, find each other irresistible. Their unexpected romance complicates Alma's return, Marcus' election and Dora's tour.
