Date: 02 13, 2014
Taryn is a country singer, Trace is a rapper.  She's blond, blue-eyed and Texan and he's blue-eyed and African American from Chicago.  They meet at the Grammy Awards ceremony, where they sit one in front of the other.  He whispers in her ear.  She likes his voice, his cologne, his confidence -- and so it begins.  For most of us, in 21st century America, with Barak Obama as our President, there's no story here.  But, an unsavory slice of Americans objects to a relationship between two people whose skin tones do not match.  A sliver of that slice makes noise about it, and a sliver of that silver acts out.When Taryn and Trace are open about their romance, their record company beefs up their security.  America's Sweetheart sees a secret from her past go public.  Events seem to conspire to push them apart.  Will they derail their romance?  What about the musicians' award-winning careers?
