On the west coast, women are starving themselves and undergoing cosmetic surgery to fit an ideal beauty type. Nutritionist David Knight is working overtime to convince his high-profile clients that beauty is not about going vegan and getting fake boobs . . . On the east coast, restaurants are closing down and the seafood industry is floundering, as environmentalists wage a war on "processed" food. Lamenting the forced loss of her cabaret, singer Deirdre Lafontaine heads off in search of soul food to nourish her music . . . A scheming environmental activist sets her sights on David and Deirdre. If her plan is to succeed, she must keep them apart, and make sure the world never discovers the relationship between soul and body, beauty and truth, art and food.
