Opis

A romantic-comedy-adventure with enough twists to make a half-dozen really good martinis... Imagine... You were born with a rare condition. Synesthesia. You taste color. You feel sound. Now imagine how that would impact your job. Your love life. Your future. Billy Shakes is a successful writer whose synesthesia helped him create six killer novels. But he has hit a slump so his agent urges him to get out and take his 'disease' on the road. Take some risks. Get those creative juices flowing again. He does. Billy meets Maureen at a Florida film festival, and to Billy her shimmering bronze skin tastes of creme brulee. But the barely married Maureen tastes adventure. Since they share a love for movies, Billy suggests a weekend trip to the Chicago Film Festival. Thus begins a kaleidoscope of events involving Maureen's brutish husband, a feisty best friend, a deadbeat fiance, two inept hit men, an alcohol-infused Scientist, a riot grrrl with a penchant for large automatic weapons...Oh, and Eden, an old friend with her own mysterious condition who longs to take a few risks herself. Through a series of missteps, close calls and mistaken identities, this dysfunctional group ricochets off one another as they storm into Chicago. After causing a near riot at the Art Institute, Billy and Eden find themselves poised on the edge of the roof. As a dozen security guards rush toward them with guns ablaze, Billy and Eden are forced to take one last risk - with wondrous and surprising results."
