It is the summer of 1969 and Rome is awash with glamour and intrigue: the stars of Cinecitt are drinking and dancing along the paparazzo-lined Via Veneto, where royalty, American expats, and the occasional Russian spy rub shoulders. Teddy Huntley Carlyle has just arrived in Italy from Dallas, Texas, eager for a fresh start with her new husband, a diplomat assigned to the American embassy.

After years of spoiling like old milk, in the words of her controlling, politically-minded uncle, Teddy vows to turn over a new leaf. She will be the soul of discretion; she will be conservative, proper, and polite. She will be her most beautiful, luminous self, wearing the right clothes and the perfect lipstick, and she will begood. She will charm her husbands colleagues at the embassy, and no one will have a word to say against her.Teddy keeps her promise, more or lessuntil the Fourth of July, when her new life explodes as spectacularly as the colorful fireworks lighting the Roman sky over the embassy grounds.

Now, Teddy is in the middle of a mess that even her powerful connections and impeccable manners cant contain .
