In this second part of the Obie and Princess saga, the Princess who returns to the mansion is far different, both physically and emotionally, than the Princess who left with Einstein the night before. Promoting Princess's latest CD release gets temporarily lost in the scramble to pick up the shattered pieces of her life, yet Obie finds Princess's "Carry On As Usual" attitude a bit hard to take. Forced to separate by conflicting career demands, their skin color conflicts and social class issues ignite, then blow up in their faces. While Obie and Princess ponder how long they can make their relationship work, three deaths in a row rock their very foundation. The final tragedy pushes a still-fragile Princess over the edge, and Obie wonders if things will ever be right again. Is there anything that can save Princess?
