A vibrant society’s keen affinity for good living and aesthetics has left it exposed to a profound undercurrent of unexpected change. The fourth installment of Parallel Planes dives into the present day of an alternate timeline where the Ancient Egyptian Kingdom never fell to foreign invaders, preserving elements of its culture and influence into the twenty-first century. In a contemporary landscape of intense media dominance, furious fads, and fervent government oversight, the heads of the world’s top fashion dynasty shine their way through the enviable chore of being rich and fabulous until a life-changing event sends them down a new path that changes the way that they navigate their decadent and extravagant existence and deeply disrupts the world around them, a world grounded in ancient cultural values of order and tradition. Bon Vivant is a feel-good alternate reality story with a fashionable twist.
