It is time for Priscilla to become the woman she was meant to be.
It was the fall of 1987, one year after Priscilla returned from her first time in southern Africa. She resumed her PR business in Columbus, Ohio, and waited for something substantial to come across her desk. Then, one day, she received a handwritten note: “Interested in spearheading the marketing campaign for the next president?” She didn’t even recognize the signature, so she researched the presidential hopeful.
Priscilla rekindles her secret affair with her former lover, Carlton Elliott Bernhardt, who invites her to his family’s home in Bow Lake, New Hampshire. His parents—Emerson C. Bernhardt II, called “Father,” and Lady Chelsea—along with his sister, Arvana, a socialite and cocaine addict, and his surrogate father Ramses, who serves as a head butler of sorts—form an eccentric lot. The Bernhardts hail from Lebanon, where they made their fortune in the olive oil export business. Lady Chelsea is the daughter of a land-rich yet capital-poor British duke. As for Ramses, he is the son of a concierge at a hotel in Egypt often frequented by the Bernhardts and has become like family.
During Priscilla’s visit, Arvana is accused of murdering her lover, Hans Verwoerd, who is also her cocaine supplier. However, Hans is more than that; he is a member of the SANM PG who is out to kill Priscilla, “the one who got away.”
Throughout, her work on the presidential campaign is unrelenting and challenging. Like her work as a legislative assistant in the Ohio Senate, Priscilla’s mettle is once again tested. Yet, at each interval, she demonstrates her political acumen, which annoys the campaign manager. Most importantly, as many who know Priscilla say, “There’s just something about her.” However, Priscilla seldom sees herself the way that others do.
Priscilla’s involvement in the presidential campaign places her in the national spotlight, allowing the terrorists who failed during her abduction to southern Africa a short while ago to close in on her. Twice, they almost kill her; the second time, Priscilla’s life hangs in the balance.
In the climax, a highly ambitious news reporter reveals a long-held secret, prompting Priscilla to pause her work on the presidential campaign and perform the PR performance of her lifetime for herself.
By the end of the series’ epic adventures, Priscilla realizes that her world and her possibilities in love and work are far greater than the circumscribed realm of Ohio politics and her traditional family and that she’s also a darn good PR consultant.
