The film opens with Harmony (Basinger) driving down a long, winding road, the sounds of Elvis playing all around her. She feels that her life is empty and artificial. She is a traveling cosmetic saleswoman, setting up Pink Lady training seminars in the western portion of the United States. When she is asked if she's one of those Mary Kaye ladies? , she replies, No, we're pink, they're more salmon. While she is popular and successful selling Pink Lady, there is nothing real or honest in her life.
