This is a story of the birth of a new theme park in Southern California.

The designers and investors begin with the best of intentions. They want to balance ideas like "It's a small world after all" with ideas like "In America we speak English." But big construction projects seldom go exactly as planned or budgeted. Some of the good intentions are met with centuries-old hostility, and the designers and investors are left bickering over what kind of park to build. Do they plow ahead with their original plans? Or do they compromise and accommodate? In the age of Trump, compromise is considered weakness. Should they man up and present concepts that modern cultures need to hear? Or should they act reasonably?

Leith, one of the lead designers, is a workaholic who is content in a loving, stable marriage that doesn't require much maintenance. Until he realizes that's just the theme-park version of marriage.
