Life, love, career. A tough choice, at any age. Especially in the magazine world . . .
International publisher Nina Jansous is the epitome of grace and style. It is these qualities that have helped her New York-based magazine, 'Blaze', become one of the most successful general interest magazines in the world. Now, at sixty years of age, Nina wants to return to Australia where her extraordinary career took off and re-launch a new Australian edition of 'Blaze'.
Alisson Gruber, not yet thirty, is ruthlessly ambitious and unimpressed by Nina's decision to appoint her as the editor of the Australian edition of 'Blaze'. She thought she had left the secrets of her past permanently behind her when she left Australia years before.
Larissa Kelly, the thirty-something, peacemaker chief-of-staff of 'Blaze' New York is sent out as Ali's deputy. But the appointment forces Larissa to confront her long standing relationship with Gerard who won't take a year off to join her in Australia and resents her taking the job. Accepting the position in Sydney might mean losing the man she loves.
Joining Ali and Larissa on 'Blaze' is freelance writer Miche Bannister, a young woman coming to terms with the suicide of her mother, the editor of the New York edition of 'Blaze'. Miche witnessed the savage competition of the magazine world break her mother and she is determined not to go down the same road.
Four women whose paths are entwined are all facing the same demons ... coming to terms with their past and the present before embracing their future. The men they love, the men they find, the men they never knew, all play a role in a private dance on a very public stage.
