Already involved in a love triangle and endangered by a warning from the secret police, Katherine Angelis, young pianist and daughter of Czech exiles, is rescued by both a Party official and a sudden ground swell of protest and shares in the euphoria of the Velvet Revolution. But in the spring of 1990, blossoming freedoms alternate with hefty price increases and new corruption, and Katherine accompanies her friends through the breakdown of family solidarity and personal and professional crises. Can she reconcile difficult choices in the post-revolution roller coaster, face questions she has long been fleeing and work through her own transformation?
