The Enlightenment of Brittany Darlington

In the Occidental Federation of America, the most popular news channel is LNN. And the most popular program on it? "Brittany Now!"-the hour-long current affairs program hosted by whip-smart girl-next-door Brittany Darlington. She's the total package: a platinum blonde mixing equal parts beauty and brains, topped off with a caustic wit and a wry smile. She's America's sweetheart. Or so she tells herself. With changes on the horizon both nationally and within her profession, Brittany is experiencing an identity crisis of epic proportions. Over a week of tapings she'll be forced to confront her own ideology, admit some hard truths, and ultimately reconcile her public image with the fragmented one staring back at her in the remains of the countless mirrors she shattered. Because for Brittany Darlington, there's no sight as simultaneously repulsive and enchanting as that of her own face.
